Sail On

Today, I was on the phone with a dear friend when she dropped a nuggett of truth in my lap.  She told me about Joseph from the Bible.  He had been in Egypt for years making progress, yet he never left Egypt to go find his brothers.  Joseph had so much authority that he really could have found them and made life much more difficult.  He did not seek to hurt them, nor did he seek to bless them.  The relationship that they had in the end was because they came to Egypt looking for relief from the famine.  Joseph seemed happy to see them, but he also seemed content to not seek them.  Relationships can be a struggle for me because I never know when to seek and when to let them go.  When is it time to allow someone to take a slow boat to China and bid them "farewell", as they sail on?  My social circles are always changing with people I thought would be there forever moving away and one hit wonders hitting, then you have to wonder where they are at.  In my time of need, you could not find them with a flashlight.  I guess I have to learn to be like Joseph.  Accept the fact that longevity may have been the goal, but it wasn't the manifested reality.  I guess, I should be like Joseph.  "When you need me, you will find me.  Until then, goodbye".
