A moving train moves from one station, picks up passangers and drops others.
The passengers on the train are seemingly going to the same destination as you, but based on their belief in you or their belief that the train will get them to their desired destination they will stay on the ride or they will get off somewhere during the trip.
People can and will get off at any stop.
When passangers get on their spots bless them , wish them well and tell them it was nice traveling with you.
Not all those who enter the train with you must go to your destination.
As humans, we all move at our own speeds, and take our own paths to get to our final destinations. These destinations can include our goals in life,ministry, accomplishments, death, etc. I've heard a multitude of analogies for life, but I recently discovered that " Life is Like A Moving Train".
We are constantly moving on tracks towards our destination. We make friends along the way. Some get off within a few stops, and some stay for more. Throughout your odyssey, you might meet someone who will change the course of your path. You want this person to stay along for the whole ride because they make you happy. They help shape the rails that form a more direct path to your destination, but sometimes this person must be forced off the train, or this person needs to get on a different train to go to a new terminal. What a lot of people seem to forget is that when this happens, your train keeps moving forward. Even though you may have a few delays along your journey, you will still reach the final station.
There will be people in your life that will make the whole trip with you and get to your desired destination - together, no matter what. In the days of Exodus not all Israelites who left Egypt got to the Promise land ,not even Moses the leader. But God raised Joshua and Caleb to lead the masses till the end..
In life you meet different people ,with different faces, so always maintain a good relationship because you might welcome a stranger today without knowing that you just received an angel. " If a man says he loves God and hates his brothers then He is a liar.( 1jn 4:20a).
The truth about Life is that the friends you had in nursery School days are not the same you will have in primary school. The ones in secondary and High School will not be the same you met in your primary school days.The ones you meet in the university will be different as well. Some of these friends will be school drop out due to finance, some change towns or even travel abroad, some will be cut up by death and some will have to pursue their different visions and career in life. What a reality about Life.
Good relationship and Real life friends are rare and when you find one, don't let them go or seperate angrily. God allows every relationship for a purpose only time can reveal the truth. Ok Gen 13 Abraham seperated with Lot and Abraham was the one who interceded and pleaded for him. His intercession brought Divine Protection, rescue and Angelic intervention to Lot in the Land of Sodom & Gomorrah.( Gen 18) No body knows about tomorrow. Scriptures says no man has seen God and if we love one another God dwells in us (1Jn 4:12).
Don't tell people only the evil about someone today forgetting the good sides of the person and how he/ she laboured, defended and even fought for you.
Enjoy the sense of speed in your life, as it is exhilarating but unsustainable.
If that happens, it will hurt, a lot, for a long time. But know that the train is still moving and you have to move on.
Eventually there will be people who will appear out of no where who will get you back on track with you.
As a Parent , Pastor or Boss love those who have been in the train with you. Pray for them with love at their point of departure and don't pretend to love them when you meet with them and behind you are sowing seeds of discords and hatred amongst those in the train.Be a good train conductor ( i.e Parent,Boss,Pastor). Joseph's brothers hated him but it was the same Joseph who survived them some years later. I repeat No body knows Tomorrow.
One day your train will get to its final stop and you will need to deboard.
At that time you will realize that life is about the journey AND the destination. Remember in the moving train you will have stops. On some spots some passangers will get in while some will enter the train to start the journey.
Believe and have faith that at the end of your ride your train will have the right passengers on board and all the passengers that were on board at one time or another were there for a distinct purpose.
Likewise the passanger should always thank God for the life of the Conductor ( i.e your parents, Pastor ,Boss) because God used him to ride you to your destination.Always appreciate them and speak well about them.
I pray for deeper understanding in Good Faith.
