Let the water flow......and it will find its course

People come into our lives for a specific reason and sometimes for a short period of time. Trying to force or change what is already pre-destined is counter productive. It goes against God's design which has been perfectly programmed for us. However, in our infinite wisdom, we change the plans because we think we can make it better, or don't like the results, or the approach, who knows? Some of us question the Creator all the time as to how He does his job.....imagine that!

Water flows down the river and encounters a rock. It doesn't start arguing with it as to who had the right of way, whether or not it had a permit from the city to enter the river, or gets angry and starts pounding the rock into submission. The water continues its path and goes around it.....just flows. Why can't we be the same?

For instance, you had a relationship or created a friendship that in your view didn't "work out." He/She came into your life for a short while and suddenly disappeared. How do you know that it was not designed that way? How do you know that the person came to touch a part of you that was dormant and needed to be awaken. Or, the person taught you a valuable lesson about yourself and life? Instead of questioning how it felt, ask "what did I learn?"
