Ecclesiates 3:1-8 tells us that there is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heaven:... There is a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gether them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away...
This means that there is a season for our relationships. No person will be in your life throughout its entirety. You will lose your grandparents probably before you leave college, and you will lose your parents before you become a grandparent. Your friends and boyfriends will come and go. The point is to recognize that those who are a part of your life were only intended to be there for a season. Be not suprised nor dicouraged when that season ends. Rejoice in the experience and in what you learned about life and yourself. Think of how the season has enriched your life and recall fondly the portion of your journey you took with the other person.
Never let fear of the season's end deny you of the season. Know that the season will end and accept it. Enjoy all the seasons that God has blessed you with. After all, a life filled with happy seasons is a happy life. We don't rail against the changing of winter into spring and neither should we fight the changing of life's seasons. Instead, we should await the coming season with hope and excitement rather than fear and anxiety. God is faithful throughout all our seasons and is the only one we can have a relatonship with that never comes to an end.
