Often times we hear these "confidence quotes" that encourages us and there is nothing wrong with that but sometimes we have to see the side that no one wants to explain. For example the quote "When someone walks out of your life, see it as God making room for the right person to walk in". This quote is really targeting the single male or female who desires companionship, patient or impatient. Or a person who is going through a rough time with their mate and desire something other than what they were given. It plays on the vulnerability of their emotion or state of mind at that point and time. Its the verbal robin hood if I may so say. Also because most people consider themselves to be spiritual, they really attach to it because God was mentioned in it. Somehow, quotes that are both positive and negative have seemed to touch people more when God is included. Is it the quote or the person? I don't disagree that this quote could be true BUT there is however, the opposing side to this quote.
What about the person who walked out of your life because YOU had a problem? What about the person who walked away because there was no willingness to grow or change. What we do as people is say that someone left because "They weren't the one" or "God was making room for me to meet who he has"...what about you? Have you taken out to time to search you? In order for a person to walk away, THEY HAD TO HAVE WALKED AWAY FROM SOMETHING(S). Maybe the problem wasn't them, maybe the problem was you. Maybe the areas where you needed to change or grow up in were not as important to you. People use the terms, "I gave all I could"...some cases this is true but in most cases this is not. After a relationship is over and you have that moment to look back at all that was done wrong, most of us realize THEN what more we could have done. Then after we ask God to bring someone into our lives that loves us and have all these great attribute BUT WE DON'T ASK GOD TO BE ALL THAT THAT PERSON IS SEARCHING FOR AS WELL. There is no place in the bible where someone received the reward without the effort. The moment where you feel you have everything together, is the moment where God reminds you that you don't. Even seniors on a high school campus will be freshman in college. Don't build yourself so high until you no longer see and can acknowledge your own faults.
Lets go to statistics now, in America 50% of Christian marriages end up in divorce. Also something that I found out that was interesting is that 50% of non-Christian marriages end up in divorce. Also studies show that couples that live together prior to getting married are more likely to divorce. Those who are children of divorce, has a higher rate of divorce when they marry. Now these are statistics, numbers based on what has happened thus far...this is not to say that this is your fate. I am painting a picture of the original quote. Lets say you have 10 relationships and this quote is used in all of them, when does this quote become factual? Also understand that throughout all of these relationships you are beginning to become more relaxed with letting people go and new people into your life.
When you are in relationships constantly that end up in breakups, there is a mental and emotional threshold that you haven't surpassed yet. So in marriage, you treat it as a regular relationship because it feels the same. The point I'm making is, God don't make mistakes. A person HE put in your life is for a reason, and I can assure that everyone he puts in your life is not for romantic purposes. The bibles says, "Acknowledge God in ALL thy ways and HE will direct your path". If we never lose focus of God, HIS statistics have proven to be HEAVENLY. Be Blessed.
