The story of Abraham and Lot demonstrate what occurs when we disobey God on who we allow access to us and what occurs when a relationship has continued past its
"Delegated Season"!I just had the unpleasant task of ending a ministry relationship with an individual who could only see me through the tainted glass's of yesterday and the spirit of familiarity.
It was swift, painful and and long overdue!
I'll honor and remember the season and the man for impartating and sharing,...sadly in retrospect that season had long passed, having gone the way of the Dodo bird.
I just didn't want to sever it,..so God yanked me out of my slothfulness and comfort zone!
He severed it, closed the door and laid everything out like a surgeons table,..and alas we parted in peace.
I often forget in the story of Noah building the Ark,..God let him handle all details except for the "Closure of the Door"!
So many times when we don't have the discernment or common sense to recognize the shft in a relationship ,He does for us what we're unable to do for ourselves,...Bring Closure!
God is hammering this concept into about me about developing the "Gift of Goodbye",...understanding and relishing the day when relationships have taken their separate paths.
It has nothing to do with anybody being mean, unanointed or not called but it has everything to do with being able to die to me enough to hear Him when he says a thing is all over!
The Bible does say that "The end of a thing is greater than the beginning thereof"
Wow,..what heartache, mind games and potential tragedy could be averted if we grasped this early on,...I'm still learning about the Journey! WOW!l
Longing for our "Glory Days" and the mist of past spiritual euphoria.
I ignored tension, jealousy and bitterness until today I like Abraham discovered.
I don't need a "Lot" In My LIFE! 
The cost of Liberty always extracts a premium on those who crave it's boundless borders!
I'm Free,....
I Love You All
