I know it’s been hard. A door has closed; now you’re forced to move on.

Do you believe I have good plans for you? I do! Do you not think I knew that door would close when I first placed you there? I did. You may not realize it, but in that place, I’ve been preparing you for your next step of faith.

In the grieving of leaving, forgive where needed. Then celebrate your lasting friendships, what you learned, and the good seed you planted. I will continue to water and watch over it. Nothing is wasted in My Kingdom.

You asked me to lead you, remember? So trust Me now. It’s time for Me to lead you into a new place—a place where you will grow your roots deeper in My love.

In the time from here to there, rest and replenish. Rest as I guide you, fill your soul, and restore your strength.

Rest.

Trust.

Rest.

Your Heavenly Father,

God

The Lord will guide you continually, giving you water when you are dry and restoring your strength. You will be like a well-watered garden, like an ever-flowing spring. Isaiah 58:11 (NLT)
