Some of the hardest lessons come from doors that don’t open when we want them to. In the moment, rejection stings. Delay feels like failure. But in truth, God’s “no” often protects us from paths that look good but end in emptiness. Closed doors aren’t punishment—they’re part of His plan to direct us where we truly belong.
It’s easy to believe we need to force our way into every opportunity. Hustle culture tells us to grind until the lock breaks. But the life of faith calls for something deeper—trust. A trust that says, “If it’s mine, I don’t have to fight the wrong way to get it.” God opens doors no man can shut, and He shuts doors no man can pry open.
Waiting seasons aren’t wasted seasons. They’re shaping seasons. While you wonder why you’re still outside the door, God is equipping you for what’s inside. And when the right door swings open, you won’t need to push—you’ll walk in with peace.
