WE ALL GO THROUGH THAT PART OF OUR LIVES LEFT CONFUSED IN MOST CASES. WONDERING IF IT WAS SOMETHING WE DONE WRONG OR JUST SIMPLY FEELING HEY' THEIR LOSS. PEOPLE COME INTO OUR LIVES FOR A REASON. SOME FOR BUT A SEASON. SOME FOR AN ETERNITY. THE QUESTION AT HAND IS WHAT LESSON, BLESSING OR GAIN YOU'VE RECIEVED DURING THAT PERSONS SEASON. EVERYONE IS NOT MEANT TO STAY. SOME ARE MEANT TO PASS THROUGH. "FOR ONLY A SEASON" DURING THAT SHORT SUMMER, WINTER, SPRING, AUTUMN OR FALL. WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED? DID YOU PROSPER, HAVE YOU GAINED A SPIRITUAL BLESSING? DID YOU GIVE A HUNDRED PERCENT ALONG THE WAY??? IN SUCH SITUATIONS WE LEARN AND GIVE. IT IS USED TO MAKE US STRONGER AND WISER FOR THE CHOSEN. WHEN IT COMES YOU WILL KNOW. WE ALL WILL KNOW. IN THE PROCESS OF SEASONS PASSED WE HAVE BEEN SHAPED AND MOLDED; GROOMED AND PREPED FOR WHAT IS TO COME NOT FOR A SEASON BUT AN ETERNITY.........Evangelist PRECIOUS! Hold your head UP HIGH and put ALL your Trust in God....NOT Man. Man is Subject too fail and Disappoint us. But God NEVER WILL...

Hebrews 13 :1LET LOVE for your fellow believers continue and be a fixed practice with you [never let it fail]. 2Do not forget or neglect or refuse to extend hospitality to strangers [in the brotherhood--being friendly, cordial, and gracious, sharing the comforts of your home and doing your part generously], for through it some have entertained angels without knowing it.4Let marriage be held in honor (esteemed worthy, precious, of great price, and especially dear) in all things. And thus let the marriage bed be undefiled (kept undishonored); for God will judge and punish the unchaste [all guilty of sexual vice] and adulterous.5Let your character or moral disposition be free from love of money [including greed, avarice, lust, and craving for earthly possessions] and be satisfied with your present [circumstances and with what you have]; for He [God] ]Himself has said, I will not in any way fail you nor [give you up nor leave you without support.[I will] not, [I will] not, [I will] not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake nor let [you] down (relax My hold on you)! [[Assuredly not!] 6So we take comfort and are encouraged and confidently and boldly say, The Lord is my Helper; I will not be seized with alarm [I will not fear or dread or be terrified]. What can man do to me? 7Remember your leaders and superiors in authority [for it was they] who brought to you the Word of God. Observe attentively and consider their manner of living (the outcome of their well-spent lives) and imitate their faith (their conviction that God exists and is the Creator and Ruler of all things, the Provider and Bestower of eternal salvation through Christ, and their [leaning of the entire human personality on God in absolute trust and confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness).8Jesus Christ (the Messiah) is [always] the same, yesterday, today, [yes] and forever (to the ages).14For here we have no permanent city, but we are looking for the one which to come, have a safe and blessed weekend 1!!!
