They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us.
1 John 2:19 NKJV
There were people in the days of John the Apostle of love, who used to be in the church of those days. But after a while they left the church and leave the whole Christianity concept. Later John wrote to the believers in western Asia Minor to tell them the reasons why these people went out their midst.
He said,''These people left our churches, but they never really belonged with us; otherwise they would have stayed with us. When they left, it proved that they did not belong with us. He taught them that they should let go those who came in their churches, shared many things with them but later they left them. He wanted them to understand, those people left them because they were not for what these precious Christian believed and stand for.
In a certain point in life, there are some people who came in our lives. These people brought great impact in our lives since they were a daily part of it. When our friendship grew to the point were we even shared our secrets with them; these people left us. They left strong mark inside of us and pain which rises every time we remember the time we shared with them.
This morning, God wants you to understand that whosoever left from your life, it was not intended for him to continue to be a part of it. He came for a purpose, and when that purpose was fulfilled that's why he left. God wants you to stop leaving in the past, because He has prepared a bright future ahead of you.
He has prepared people for your life. If those who left used to help you in some things which maybe now no one is there to do them for you. Don't be afraid, God is going to bring the right people in your life, in a right time! So may the peace of the Lord Jesus Christ be still in you.
