In life we will cross paths with many..... There will those who cross for short seasons and those who are there for longer ones...... Some may even be called to walk along side of you for the duration of yours and their season of life. Any time paths are crossed, the reasons can be many or few. Maybe it is for you to extend grace..... Maybe it's for you both to show mercy..... It could be to teach and show them unconditional love through a healing season..... Or it may even be to teach you how to respond and embrace rejection. (Yes I said rejection., just as Jesus was rejected so will, we, his children. ) Rejection, if allowed, becomes a season of learning wisdom..... Godly wisdom. There will be times in life when the love you give will not be received nor returned by others. They will not see your heart for what it truly holds..... They will not be able to grasp the compassion you carry.......
