You can love what someone meant to you, grieve that they won’t be coming with you, and still trust God enough to make room for the relationships that fit who you are becoming.
You: Why are people leaving my life?
God: Because I’m making room.
You: For what?
God: For people who are actually for you. The ones leaving were only supposed to be there for a season. That season’s over.
I see your future and they’re not in it
Jacqueline Whitney
You: But I don’t want them to go
God: I know. But keeping them would block who’s coming. And who’s coming is better for where you’re going.
You: How do you know?
God: Because I see your future. And they’re not in it. I’m not being cruel. I’m being strategic. Trust me here.

You: Okay, God. I trust you.
God: The right people are coming. But they can’t arrive while you’re still holding onto the wrong ones. It is time to let go.
