Is your relationship/friendship an OBLIGATION or is it LOVE?

Obligation feels like a job, like paying taxes something you HAVE to do but not necessarily want to do. In your relationship/friendships you should not feel obligated, it should be a commitment based on your freedom of choice and inspired by LOVE. Some people come into a relationship/friendship not knowing the expectations of the person they are dealing with. They base the relationship/friendship on what they think the person wants like googling the role of wife, friend, and husband, then following what Wikipedia gives you as an answer. This may work for a little while but at some point a light bulb may go off like what is this person doing? That’s when a conversation needs to take place. Actually it should have taken place in the beginning but that’s neither here nor there. When LOVE is in the mist it doesn’t feel like work… You want to do these things that otherwise would feel like an obligation. It gives you joy and pleasure to make another person happy without sacrificing your own happiness. Some people are in your life for a REASON usually to meet a need whether physically, emotionally, or spiritually when that person drifts away they have met that need and is no longer needed don’t try to hold on to that person. A SEASON because your time has come to share, grow, or give back. They bring you peace, make you laugh, they bring you great joy believe it because it is real but only for a season don’t try to hold on to this person either… LIFETIME relationships teach you life long lessons, things you must build upon to have a solid emotional foundation. Accept these lessons, learn them and put what you learned to use in all your other relationships. These people you won't have to try and keep because they are not going anywhere. Evaluate your circle, know the difference between the people that are there for a REASON, a SEASON, or a LIFETIME knowing this will help you realize if your relationship/friendship with them is an Obligation or is it Love….
