1 Corinthians 10:13

Last night right before 4 am i fell asleep on the couch. I fell into a dream where i was sitting on the porch swing in front of our house. An old friends voice came through my phone. it didnt ring, and when i checked no call as connected. His voice simply went through the phone miraculously, clear as day as if he say beside me.
'I thought you never wanted to talk to me again..." i said sadly.
"I dont," he answered. "But i had to. You have to move on, go on without me. Live your life to the fullest." we talked for a few moments, mostly idle conversation. He told me he still wasnt ready to forgive me. I wanted to ask why, what did I do to make him so angry that year ago? I didn't bother, knowing he wouldnt answer. He encouraged me to pray and seek God, and try to aloow Him to heal me, and help me move on. "Like it says in 1 Corithinthians 10:13..." he said. he quoted a few other verses to me as well, but i couldnt remember them. He also assured me that in heaven, when the world was recreated, and God reunited us, all would be well. Perhaps then, we could reconcile and be friends again. I felt myself waking up. He said he had to put the phone down now and dial 911. Did I say something to grieve him? i wondered. Or perhaps something bad was happening on the other line, something i might never know about, something God has not yet allowed me to understand. I needed to find out what was going on, but I was awakening. I still had so many question, so much I needed to learn from this dream. Couldn't I at least get closure? Fate forced me eyes open, and i was stuck with naught but that verse in my head to take from the experience...


No temptation[a] has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted[b] beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted,[c] he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.

What did it mean?

Is there still some faint connection, or was God simply trying to reach me with a familiar voice? Either way what was i being told, and what does it all mean...?
