The Fullness of His Word

Don't allow someone's rejection or approval to become your foundation or the meaningless thing that you place your faith & trust into.

Someone may only come into your life for a season, & it's important to remember that God has a perfect reason for allowing that to be so.

Oftentimes, we are able to glance behind us and see how a person we no longer speak to, whether it be from a dissolved friendship or a relationship, played a role in who we are in this very moment.

Think about it: God may place people in your life to increase your awareness of everything around you & about you.

You learn a great deal about the world through the company you keep. They may introduce you to new experiences: food, travel, fun adventure. You'll have those memories forever. You also discover what your own personal standards are. It's important to know who you wish to let into your inner circle. There has to be a boundary set in place because those seasons can lead us into a world of trouble if we are not careful.

It's also a positive that you do learn about yourself and grow in the process. The seasonal friendships and relationships I've had helped me grow so much from an interactive standpoint. We experience. We change. We grow.

But most of all, it's important to cling to this thought:

Christ loves us more than we can truly comprehend. Those seasons are meant for us, only because He cares so much, knowing how we need to grow. He desires for us to seek love from Him first & foremost, & for our minds to be filled with the fullness of His Word.

So many of us get that wrong. I have more than once. The end of seasons can hurt us deeply, but it's crucial to hold onto the faith in our hearts.

"That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that he being rooted and grounded in love."

"Maybe able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height."

"And to know the love of Christ, which passeth all knowledge, that he might be filled with all the fullness of God".

(Ephesians 3:17-19 King James Version)
