God determines.

God determines who walks into your life.... it's up to you to decide who you let walk away, who you let stay, and who you refuse to let go.

Father, God, bless all my friends in whatever it is that you know they may need this day. And may their lives be full of your peace, prosperity and power as they seek to have a closer relationship with you.

Do you ever wonder why people do the things they do? How things can happen with no explaination at all? I had a friend that I had reconnected with and all of a sudden has left me, no explaination, no phone call to say this is what is going on, nothing. I know they are going through a lot right now, but I was a friend that they could always count on and they did at one time. We would talk and talk and then one day, gone - like being thrown out with the trash. I guess God determined on that person in my life that they weren't suppose to be in my life. Sad and heart breaking.

I guess God determines everything - but does he determine who are murderers, who are rapists, who has extreme wealth, who lives in poverty - not all of those people, do not believe in God, I am sure they do, so why did he determine for them that path for them to go on. I just read on the internet an interesting article and this is what one psychologists had to say:

People do things, ultimately, for reasons that ‘make sense to them at the time’. Based on their own goals, the context and other intervening factors, their behaviour can be explained, even though it may not make sense to us, or we would have done things differently, or we may not agree with what they’ve done.

But it doesn't matter why people do what they do, if they choose to hurt you, they choose to hurt you, if they choose to murder, they choose to murder, if they choose to love you , they choose to love you, if they choose to seek revenge or have hatred, then they will. Even though some things in life do not make sense and are out of our control they only thing we can choose to do is to follow God and love him and to choose our attitude. Be positive and strong and just be there, in case your fallen friend ever comes back, in case a co-worker needs an ear to listen, in case your child needs a hug, just be present and be present with God! Because God ultimately does determine your path in life.... so don't fight it, embrace it!

Sorry for rambling - just a bunch of thoughts in my head today.

Miss and love you dad!

Much love to all,
