She Left

I remember being in a relationship with this amazing young woman. My love for her was such that when she told me she wasn't willing to marry a pastor, I was ready to jettison my calling for her!

One beautiful morning a call to my mobile phone awakened me. It was from this amazing lady. The call was to the effect that she would like to quit the relationship. The only thing I requested was the return of my engagement ring.

I'll like you to know that people walking away from your life can also constitute a favour too just as people can also walk into your life with opportunities and open doors.

It was when Lot walked away from Abraham that God started speaking to him again(Gen. 13:14). Left to Abraham, he would have wanted lot with him forever!

It is instructive what Apostle John has to say on this:

"They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us; but their going showed that none of them belonged to us" 1 Jn.2:19, NIV.

Beloved, do not compromise your company's policy, your personal standard, your purpose or the word of God to hold on to someone or something that is bent on walking away from you.

Whatever you compromise to hold on to, you'll have to continue compromising to keep!
