There is a season in life where doors close and you cannot reopen them no matter how hard you try. The job that fell through. The relationship that unraveled. The friendship that quietly ended without a fight.
You will pray for those doors to reopen. You will grieve them. You will convince yourself that if you had just done something differently, you'd still be there.
But some doors close because your assignment there is complete. Some closings are not rejection — they are protection. God, Source, Spirit — whatever name feels true to you — sometimes cuts off what you would have kept for too long.
The evidence usually arrives later. Six months, a year, five years down the line, you look back and realize: I would still be in that room if that door had not shut. I would still be small. I would still be waiting.
Bless the closing. It made room for the alignment you are living now.
