Sometimes we grieve what God was actually rescuing us from.
We cry over the closed door.
We question the unanswered prayer.
We replay the ending and wonder
why God allowed something
we loved to be taken away.
And in the middle of the pain, it can feel like punishment.
But not every loss means God is against you.
Sometimes loss is the mercy of God in a form you did not recognize at first.
“The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; he knows those who take refuge in him.”
Nahum 1:7
There are things we want to keep
because they are familiar.
People we want to stay
because we are attached.
Doors we want to open
because we think they are the only way forward.
But God sees what we cannot see.
He sees the damage behind the desire.
He sees the danger behind the comfort.
He sees the future you are not strong enough to protect yet.
And sometimes, His love does not look like giving you what you asked for.
Sometimes His love looks like removing what would have slowly destroyed your peace, your purity, your calling, or your walk with Him.
That is why you should not immediately call every ending a curse.
Some endings are coverings.
Some delays are deliverance.
Some rejections are redirection.
Some losses are God’s way of saying,
“My child, I know what this would have done to you.”
It may hurt now.
It may not make sense yet.
You may still miss what God removed.
But one day, you may look back with tears in your eyes and realize:
God was not punishing you.
He was protecting you.
Heart check,
What loss have you been grieving that may actually be God’s protection in disguise?
