I literally spent all of last night and early this morning talking to someone that i haven't known for a long (only a week) but who i call a friend. We joke about how so much can change within a week, and it is true, so much has changed. It is utterly liberating and almost gratifying to have someone to talk to and know that the person on the receiving end isn't judging you but is instead rooting for you to be an overcomer and victorious.
And then i wonder why i was never able to build such relationships as this one with my new friend with the friendships i've had/held on to for many years. That's when it hits me, every person who comes into your life, whether a friend or stranger, comes to play a purpose. The purpose may not be revealed right away and may even take years but you need all of these people in your life to help strengthen you as you proceed to your calling. Jesus knew all along that Judas was going to betray him and he still kept him around. If it wasn't for the betrayal then Jesus would have not been captured at that moment and died on the cross only to resurrect three days later.
Thank you, friend.
