There are moments when his voice will caution you urging you not to return to places, people or relationships!that He has delivered you from! it is not because He is denying you love or companionship, but because he knows what lies ahead, He sees the things you cannot see, He understands the motives that remain hidden, the intentions that are masked and the cycles that if repeated will derail your destiny! You cannot take back those who dishonor your words and expect them to suddenly value you! a person who repeatedly disrespect your boundaries is not struggling with understanding them! they are showing you who they truly are! to take them back is to invite the same pattern, the same pain and the same cycle into your life again! Yah calls you to protect the treasure he has placed within you, your gifts, your time, your heart! You must let go with wisdom not out of fear, but out of obedience to his word! sometimes the ones you feel the strongest connection to are the ones Yah removed from your life to make room for his blessings. These individuals may not be inherently bad, but they are not meant for the season you are entering! they cannot handle the elevation. God is preparing for you! Taking them back could cause delay, distraction, or even destruction. Remember not everyone who started the journey with you is meant to finish it. Forgiveness does not require reconnection. Forgiveness is your responsibility. Reconciliation is God‘s instruction and it is not always mandated! just because you’ve let go of the bitterness in your heart does not mean you have to reopen the door to their presence!Yah is not asking you to compromise your peace, your purpose, or your spiritual growth for the sake of maintaining ties with people! he has already cut off!!The enemy, often disguises himself with familiarity! he will use guilt loneliness, nostalgia, to attempt you into revisiting relationships that Yah has clearly ended, you must realize that the pain cannot produce the peace you are seeking! when Yah closes the door. It is not because he is punishing you. It is because he is protecting you, do not ignore the red flag. He has already shown you! do not rationalize the chaos. Trust his wisdom above your emotions. You must recognize that your destiny is too valuable to risk for temporary comfort!when you take back those who betrayed your trust, manipulated your kindness or ignore your boundaries. You are saying to Yah I do not trust your plan, but Yah’s plan for your life is far greater than anythingYou can imagine!He sees the relationships that will elevate you!strengthen you!and support the purpose He has placed within you. It is a hard thing to release what you thought was good for you. It is painful to let go of someone you once prayed for! someone you invested in! someone you believed in, but Yah is asking you to trust Him! trust that He’s leading you to a greater place in Him! Trust that his rejection is his redirection!!trust that the people he removes are part of his divine strategy to position you for your purpose. Obedience to Yah’s voice is not always easy, but it is always necessary! when Yah speaks to your heart and tells you not to take certain people back, it is not to deprive you of relationships or connections, but to protect you from unseen harm, he operates from a perspective far beyond what we can comprehend! Why you see the present moment Yah sees the entire picture past present and future! He knows the true intentions of those around you even when they are hidden behind smiles, apologies or promises of change! His warnings are not meant to restrict you, but the shield you from situations and individuals that could derail your journey or disrupt the purpose he has placed in your life! Often we are drawn to hold onto people because of emotional attachment or the fear of loneliness! we convince ourselves that what we see is all there is, but Yah sees the depths of every heart. He knows the manipulations that may be at play! the cycles of hurt that could repeat and the distraction that could arise if you let the wrong person back into your life! When Yah tells you to let go, it is because he sees the road ahead!!a road that may be filled with detours setbacks and pain. If you do not heed his guidance, the protection Yah has is rooted in his love. It may not always feel comfortable, and it may not always make sense in the moment, but Yah is not limited by your emotions or your perspective, He sees the traps that are being set. The ulterior motives behind certain actions and the destruction that could follow if you choose to disregard his voice, His warnings are a sign of his care! A Way of shielding you from unnecessary harm and a call to trust him above your feelings or desires! when you refuse to listen to Yah’s caution, you are stepping outside of His covering!!this is not because he abandoned you, but because you have chosen to move in a direction that opposes his wisdom, Yah’s warnings are never about punishing you, but about preserving you! when He says don’t take them back! He is not denying your love or relationship. He is denying access to those who do not align with His purpose for your life. Trust that His perspective is perfect and His guidance is always for your good. Yah created you with immense worth placing within you a unique purpose, gifts, and abilities when someone repeatedly disrespect your boundaries, dismisses your feelings or dishonor your value they are not struggling to understand. They are choosing to disregard who you are. Their actions revealed their true intentions and it is critical to believe what they show you!!to take them back is not only to ignore the evidence of their behavior, but also to diminish the word that Yah has instilled in you, you are called to protect the treasure that Yah has placed within you, your heart your time, and your energy are not meant to be given carelessly to those who failed to honor them, allowing someone back into your life who has a history of disrespecting your value is like leaving a precious gem in the hands of someone who sees it as an ordinary stone, they will not suddenly cherish what they failed to value!!before true transformation requires a change of heart, and until Yah confirms that change, you must trust his instruction! What Yah has trusted to you It is not an act of love to enable someone to continue devaluing you! Yah’s love does not tolerate harm manipulation or disregard! taking back someone who has hurt you without any sign of accountability or genuine repentance is not an act of kindness. It is an act of self neglect.Yah called you, but not at the expense of neglecting you! You owe yourself as his creation by prioritizing His voice and the value He places on you to demonstrate that you trust His wisdom over your emotions!Honoring Yah words is also about protecting your future when you allow someone who has consistently dishonored you to re-enter your life you risk setting a presdence that your boundaries are negotiable and your value can be compromised. This not only impact your relationship with that person, but also affects how you view yourself and how others treat you. Yah’s instruction to keep certain people out of your life is His way of preserving your dignity and reminding you of your identity in him your worth is nonnegotiable because it is defined by the one who created you! not by those who failed to see it! Yah works in seasons, and every season has a purpose there are people who enter your life some for a season and few for a lifetime!

Understanding this truth is crucial, because not everyone who starts the journey with you not is meant to finish it! You must come to the conclusion that some people were only meant to accompany you! you can go through a a particular phase and holding onto them beyond that season can hinder your progress and God‘s plan for your life! When Yah remove someone it is often because they cannot handle the elevation he is preparing for you. elevation requires transformation and alignment with God‘s purpose not everyone has the capacity the character or the commitment to walk with you into your next level. There are people who are comfortable with the version of you that aligns with their beliefs and that is convenience, but as Yah grows you, they may resist or even resent your transformation. They may not celebrate your next level or support your calling because it challenges their own insecurities, or disrupt their expectations of what they think you should be your next step! these people attack and create unnecessary weight and distraction. Imagine trying to climb a mountain while carrying baggage that was never meant to go with you. The climb becomes harder, slower and more exhausting. Yah is calling you to release the weight holding you back so you can move freely into the future he has for you. He sees the relationships that will propel you forward and those that will put you down! trust his wisdom in separating the two! It’s important to recognize that some people may not have malicious intentions yet they are still not equipped to go, where Yah is taking you! they may genuinely care for you, but lack the maturity! vision of faith to align with your destiny. This is why the teaching is so critical. Yah knows what is needed for the next chapter of your life, and sometimes that requires leaving behind people who were once close to you, letting go is not an act of rejection. It is an act of obedience when Yah transitions you into a new season the relationship he allows to remain, will be those that align with his purpose for your life. Trust that he knows who belongs and who does no! those who are meant to stay, will rise to the challenge of growth and transformation! those who are not will fall away, and that is part of his divine plan. Forgiveness is a cornerstone of Yah’s teaching, but forgiveness does not always require reconciliation!when Yah asks you to forgive it is to free your heart from bitterness and allow his healing to flow. However, he does not demand that you bring back into your life those who repeatedly betray you! forgiving someone means releasing the offense, but it does not mean ignoring wisdom and discernment about their place in your future. Yah may guide you to forgive without rekindling the connection because he knows that their presence in your life could compromise your peace, purpose or progress. Yah understands the power of influence. The people you allow close to you have the ability to shape your thoughts, actions and even your destiny! taking back someone who has shown no accountability or genuine change could reintroduce toxic patterns into your life. Forgiveness is about releasing the burden of what they did, but reconciliation requires evidence of transformation without that transformation reconnecting with them can lead to repeated cycles of pain and disruption. Forgiveness is also a reflection of Yah’s grace in your life. You forgive because you have been forgiven, but even Yah requires Teshuvah for a relationship to be restored!he does not automatically reconcile with those who continue to rebel against him. Instead, he waits for genuine Teshuvah, a true turning away from harmful behavior. Similarly, you are not obligated to bring someone back into your life if their actions have not demonstrated sincere change!Yah causes you to love but love does not mean enabling someone to continue hurting you! To separate from someone after forgiveness is not an act of rejection. It is an act of wisdom you are stewarding your peace and purpose. Yah has given you! sometimes people confused forgiveness with weakness or assume that your kindness is an invitation to resume that harmful behavior. Forgiveness is strength. It is choosing to let go the offense while maintaining the boundaries that protect your heart and your destiny. Yah often removes people from your life to make space for the relationship He has ordained for you by holding onto someone he has asked you to release you could be delaying the blessings and connections he has in store. Forgiveness is a step toward freedom! freedom also means walking in the wisdom of Yah’s guidance. Trust him to reveal who belongs in your life and who is better left in his hands!Familiarity can be one of the greatest traps in your life, and the enemy knows how to use it against you! he knows that you often clings to what feels safe! what feels known, even if it’s harmful!guilt and loneliness and nostalgia are some of the most powerful tools. The enemy uses to draw you back into relationships that God has already ended. He whispers lies into your spirit, making you question whether you were too harsh whether you misunderstood the person’s intentions or whether you are strong enough to move forward without them, but Yah does not deal in confusion. He speaks clearly when he says let them go. It is not an invitation to second-guess his voice, but a command to trust him fully Nostalgia is particularly deceptive because it causes you to romanticize the past! you start remembering the good moments, the laughter and the times you felt close to that person while conveniently, forgetting the pain, the betrayal and the sleepless nights, the enemy magnifies the selective memories to make you believe that taking them back is the answer to your loneliness or your longing for connection, but Yah sees what you cannot. He knows that revisiting what he has closed off is not the solution it is the problem! Loneliness blocks your judgment and moments of isolation it becomes easy to think that anyone is better than no one. The enemy takes advantage of these vulnerable moments to convince you that going back to what is familiar even if it’s toxic is better! than trusting Yah for what is yet to come, but loneliness is not a punishment from Yah. It is often a preparation. Yah uses seasons of solitude to refine you!! to strengthen your character and to deepen your dependence on him!! if you rush back to toxic people out of fear of being alone, you risk missing the growth and blessings. Yah has for you in that season. Guild is another powerful weapon. The enemy may remind you of your own shortcomings making you feel as though you have no right to set boundaries or walk away, he may use the other person‘s apologies or tears to make you feel responsible for their healing, their happiness or their well-being, but Yah has not called you to be anyone Savior that role belongs to him alone! Taking back someone out of guilt or a sense of obligation is not love. It’s bondage. Yah love frees you to walk in freedom as well even when it requires letting go!!the trap of familiarity is not just about the past it’s about delaying your future. The enemy knows that as long as you are tied to what is behind you, you cannot fully embrace what lies ahead. He wants you stuck in cycles revisiting, relationships, and patterns that drain you so you never step into the new things, what Yah has prepared for you!Yah going to leave someone behind us to break those cycles and trust him for something greater. It’s a cold to stop settling for less than his best simply because it feels familiar. Familiarity may feel comfortable, but it can also be a present keeping you from the freedom of purpose. God intends for your life. God does not remove people without reason he sees the hidden motives and the consequences of keeping someone in your life! WOW and WOW!

When he closes the door, it’s not to deprive you, but to protect and prepare you! trust that his perspective is far greater than your own and resist the pull of what feels familiar, but it’s ultimately harmful, letting go of someone Yah has asked you to release it, not just an act of obedience. It’s an act of faith believing that his plans are better than anything you could ever imagine or hold on too! accountability is a cornerstone of any meaningful relationship and God place a high value on it when someone betrays you! their response reveals much about the character a person who consistently blames others for their actions justifies their behavior or refuses to take responsibility is showing you the unwillingness to change. True repentance is not just about saying I’m sorry it is demonstrated in actions true humility acknowledgment of the hurt cause and a genuine effort to make things right! without accountability. There is no foundation for trust and without trust there can be no healthy relationship. When God ask you not to take someone back. It is often because he sees that they refuse to take responsibility, will lead to repeated cycles of pain and disappointment. Accountability requires self-awareness maturity, and a desire to grow qualities that not everyone is willing to embrace. A lack of accountability is a warning sign a red flag that cannot be ignored no matter how much history you share or how much you want to believe in their potential! Trust operations on the principle of truth and truth requires honesty not just with others, but with oneself a person who is unwilling to face their flaws, so admit their mistakes is resisting the transformative work of God in their life, they may promise change but words without accountability are empty. If you take them back without evidence of real growth, you risk enabling their behavior and reinforcing a pattern where they believe they can continue to act without consequences. God calls you to higher standards not to settle for relationships that undermine your dignity and peace. Accountability also reflects the condition of the heart!people that refuses to take responsibility is often filled with pride, denial, or selfishness. These are traits that can poison a relationship, creating an environment of blame and manipulation rather than love and respect God, Yahvdesires for you to be surrounded by people who uplift and encourage you not those who tear you down or refuse to own that part in conflicts! taking back someone who lacks accountability is like building a house on a foundation of sand eventually, it will collapse under the weight of unresolved issues. It is not your role to force someone into accountability. That is the work of God in their life, your destiny is to protect the peace and purpose. God has given you! if they are unwilling to take responsibility it is not a reflection of your work, but the unwillingness to grow trust God’s wisdom when he tells you to let go even if it feels difficult! his plans for you include relationships that are built on trust honesty and mutual respect not ones where you are left to carry the burden of someone else’s refusal to change!Taking someone back who has not embrace. Accountability is not an act of compassion. It is an invitation for chaos when God closes the door on such relationships. He is protecting you from unnecessary heartache and preserving your ability to move forward!his instruction for he sees what you cannot. God knows that accountability is not optional. It is essential for relationship to thrive when God tells you not to take someone back, it is often because he sees the danger of repeated betrayal!betrayal is not just a single act as a fracture of trust a wound to the soul and a violation of the bond that holds relationships together! trust once broken is not easily rebuilt, and betrayal leave behind scars that take time and divine healing to mend! when someone has betrayed you repeatedly they are showing a pattern of behavior, not a momentary lapse in judgment. God wants you to know about this because he knows they can destroy your peace, your confidence, and even your purpose, if allowed to continue betrayal, often comes in the form of dishonesty manipulation or abandonment. It cuts deep because it typically comes from those you least expect! people you have trusted and allowed into the vulnerable spaces of your life when God says not to take them back, he’s not asking you to withhold forgiveness. He is asking you to protect the trust. He has trusted you trust his secret, and it is not meant to be carelessly given to those who repeatedly proved they are unworthy of it! Repetitive betrayal also reveals a heart that is not align with God‘s principles! a person who betray without remorse without repentance, or without a genuine effort to change, is operating from a place of selfishness, pride or deceit. They are prioritizing their own desires and interest over the well-being of the relationship. God sees these hidden motives and the damage they can cause When he warns you not to take someone back it is because he knows the actions will continue to harm you and hinder your ability to walk fully in his purpose for your life. The enemy often uses betrayal as a tool to break your spirit and sow seeds of doubt not only about others. But about yourself! repeated betrayal can make you question you’re worth your judgment and even your ability to trust again, but God does not want you to live in the shadow someone else’s actions!he called you to heal to rebuild and to protect the gift he has placed in you!Taking back someone who has repeatedly betrayed you, wrist, reopening wounds, that God is trying to heal. Betrayal also has a way of consuming your emotional and spiritual energy when you focus on repairing a relationship with someone who continually breaks your trust, you lose time and energy that could be spent on the people and purposes. God has truly called you too. God does not want you stuck in cycles of disappointment and hurt. He wants you to thrive in relationships that reflect his love and faithfulness, taking back someone who betrays it is like pouring water into a broken vessel that leads you drained and unfulfilled God’s instruction to let go it’s not about punishment but protection for maintaining and creating space for relationships that align with his plans for your life!! trust that when God says no it is because he has something far better in store!repeated betrayal is a sign that someone is not ready or willing to walk in truth integrity, and love!it is not your responsibility to fix them or to endure their behavior at the cost of your peace. God caused you to forgive, but he also causes you to walk in wisdom, trusting to guide your steps and guard your heart when God tells you not to take someone back often because he sees the inability or unwillingness to support your purpose. Purpose is the reason God created you! the unique assignment he has placed on your life, and the path He has for you to walk not everyone is meant to accompany you on that journey. Some people are distraction some hindrance and others are outright obstacles when God says to let someone go. It is because their presence in your life is, because the destiny in your life no longer requires them for what Yah has prepared for you!!

A person who cannot support your purpose will often reveal themselves in subtle ways. They may dismiss your dreams, undermine your goals, or discourage your efforts. They may claim to care for you, but their actions show a lack of understanding or respect for your calling! God has placed on your life. These individuals may even try to compete with you or pull you away from the path God has set. God, warns you about people because he knows their influence can delay, derail, or diminish your progress. Purpose requires focus and focus requires clarity when someone in your life constantly introduces doubt, confusion or negativity. They are not helping you fulfill your purpose. They are hindering it! the enemy often use such individuals to distract you not through the thing that are obvious but too small, persistent discouragement that slowly ruins your confidence and motivation. God sees how these influences affect your spirit and when he tells you to let someone go, it is because he is protecting your ability to stay on course supporting your purpose also requires a shared vision a person who does not value what God is placed in you cannot walk with you in alignment. They may demand your time and attention but offer nothing in return to help you grow or thrive instead of lifting you up, they drain your energy, pulling you away from the things that truly matter these relationships can feel one-sided, leaving you frustrated and unfulfilled. God ask you to release such individuals because he desires relationships that are reciprocal with mutual support and encouragement, build each other up in love and faith! a lack of support for your purpose can also manifest as jealousy or resentment. Some people may see the favor of God on your life, and feel threatened by it instead of celebrating your victories they diminished them or shift the focus back to themselves they may try to compete with you sabotage your efforts or manipulate situations to keep you from advancing. God does not want you to carry the weight of someone else’s insecurity or jealousy, especially when it comes at the expense of your calling, it’s important to remember that supporting your purpose is not just about words. It’s about actions. True supporters will pray for you encourage you and stand by you even when the world gets difficult, they will celebrate your successes and offer guidance when you stumble Those who cannot do this, not align with the vision God has for your life, taking them back out of guilt, obligation, or fear of loneliness only delays the fulfillment of God‘s promises. God‘s instruction to let go is always rooted in love. He knows that your purpose is not just about you. It is about the lives You are meant to impact! the legacy you are meant to leave and the glory you are meant to bring to his name holding onto someone who cannot support your purpose. Compromise is not only your journey, but also the work God wants to accomplish to you trust that when God remove someone from your life, he is making room for the relationships and opportunities that will propel you forward. His plans are greater than your attachments, and his wisdom is perfect. Listen to his voice, trust his guidance and protect the purpose he has placed within you. There are people in life that will come with ulterior motives, and God sees their hearts long before you do. These individuals are often driven by selfish desires are hidden agendas. Their actions may appear harmless on the surface, but beneath they are seeking to use you for their own game. This is not always obvious, and sometimes you may even believe that their intentions are pure, especially if they have shown you kindness in the past, but God and his perfect wisdom can see the deeper intentions of the heart When he tells you not to take someone back. It is often because he knows that their motives are not aligned with your well-being or his purpose for your life. People who operate from a place of selfishness can be manipulative seeking to control or exploit you. They may try to use your kindness or resources or your emotional strength to fulfill their needs without considering the cost to you. These individuals rarely have your best interest at heart and instead they aim to drain you emotionally mentally or even financially they may disguise the selfishness under the guides of love of friendship, but in reality, they are only interested in what they can extract from you. God warns you about these people because he wants to protect you from being exploited. He knows that your kindness and generosity can be taken advantage of by those who do not have pure intentions when you take someone back who has used you before you are opening yourself up to the possibility of being hurt once again God does not want you to live in a cycle of exploitation where you give and give only to be left empty. His desire is for you is to experience relationships that are founded on mutual respect, trust and genuine love not ones that leave you feeling drained and used the danger of allowing someone back into your life. With selfish motives is that their manipulation is slowly to ruin your sense of self-worth overtime you may start to question your own value, wondering if your purpose is only to serve others without ever being truly cared for or respected in return. This can lead to feelings of resentment and bitterness which not only harm the relationship but also the work God is doing in you and through you when you allow people with selfish motives to re-enter your life you risk losing site of your own worth and purpose. God‘s instructions are meant to safeguard your heart. He does not want you to keep giving to people who are only there for what they can get from you. and this is not a relationship. It is an unhealthy dynamic of imbalance. God is calling you to preserve your energy, your heart, and your resources for those who will value and appreciate you not those who will exploit you for their own purposes! trusting God‘s discernment in these matters is key! often we want to believe the best in people, especially those who have been close to us, but God sees what we Cannot. He knows the hidden motives the ways in which they seek to manipulate and how their behavior will impact your life in the long run by trusting him and releasing these individuals. You are not only protecting yourself, but also allowing God to bring the right people into your life. Those are genuinely aligned with your growth and well-being When God says not to take someone back it is because he wants to deliver you from the toxic cycles of manipulation and selfishness, he wants you to have relationships where love flows freely with your time and energy are invested in people who truly care about your happiness and success, not just their own! let go of the people who have used you in the past and trust that God will bring those into your life who will uplift support and walk with you in genuine partnership. His plan for you is not one of exploitation, but one purpose, love, and fulfillment One of the most crucial reasons God may tell you not to take someone back is because they are hindering your groove relationships have the power to either propel you forward or hold you back and when someone consistently discourages your personal development will keep you in the state of immaturity. Their presence in your life becomes a barrier to the fullness of what God has planned for you. You may think that by taking them back, you are giving the relationship another chance, but in reality you may be stalling your own progress, keeping yourself tied to someone who is preventing you from moving into the next phase of your life! growth requires change and changed, can be uncomfortable, however, when we are surrounded by the right people those who Encourage your growth and potential leads us to what Yah has destined for us!!!

And how their behavior will impact your life in the long run! by trusting him and releasing these individuals you are not only protecting yourself, but also allowing God to bring the right people into your life. Those were genuinely aligned with your growth and well-being when God says not to take someone back, it is because he wants to deliver you from the toxic cycle of manipulation and selfishness. He wants you to have relationships where love flows freely when your time and energy are invested in people who truly care about your happiness and success, not just their own Let go of the people who have used you in the past and trust that God will bring those into your life who will uplift support and walk with you and genuine partnership. His plan for you is not one of exploitation, but one a purpose, love and fulfillment one of the most crucial reasons God may tell you not to take someone back is because they are hindering your groove Relationships. Have the power to either propel you forward or hold you back and when someone consistently discourages your personal developmental keeps you in a state of immaturity. Their presence in your life becomes a barrier to the fullness of what God has planned for you. You may think that by taking them back, you are giving the relationship another chance, but in reality you may be stalling your own progress, keeping yourself tight to someone who is preventing you from moving into the next phase of your life Growth requires change and change can be uncomfortable, however, when we are surrounded by the right people those who encourage our growth challenges in healthy ways and support our God given potential our lives begin to expand, but the opposite is true when we continue to invest in relationship relationships with people who are stagnant or toxic these individuals often want you to remain at their level, not because they care about you, but because your groove makes them uncomfortable or exposes their own lack of progress They may suddenly overly try to keep you from pursuing your dreams because seeing you succeed or evolve challenges, their sense of security the danger in taking someone back who is hindering your growth is that you will be constantly looking back with instead of moving forward every time you return to a relationship that does not align with your groove your wrist pulling yourself back into old patterns past hurts and familiar but unproductive cycles. God wants you to live in the freedom of progression to embrace new opportunities, and to move forward in his will, but when you keep surrounding yourself with individuals who are not pushing you to be your best self, you trap yourself in a cycle of regression God understands that growth often involves cutting ties with the past as you evolve in mature not everyone will be able to accompany you on that journey. This is not to say that you should abandon relationship slightly, but God is aware that some people are simply not equipped to walk with you in the new season of your life. Their presence in your life may be a constant reminder of who you would rather than who you are becoming to step into the fullness of your destiny. God may be calling you to release these people not because he is punishing them or you, but because he is preparing you for greater things that require a new level of vision, commitment, and maturity growth also involves learning from the past and moving forward with new wisdom and perspective, however, some relationships prevent this process when you take someone back, who has kept you in a cycle of stagnation, you missed the opportunity to learn from your mistakes and step into a place of greater understanding. God wants you to be free from the emotional chains of unhealthy attachment and he knows that your growth requires you to move beyond relationships that continue to keep you in a place of emotional immaturity or spiritual complacency. Furthermore, God has called you to walk in purpose and purposes often closely to grow Purpose is not just about doing something. It is about becoming who God has created you to be relationships that keep you in the past or hinder your progress delay the unfolding of your purpose as you grow and evolve, you begin to see the world differently, and you start to understand more clearly why you were created, and what you were meant to accomplish, but when you hold onto relationships that no longer serve your purpose of that restrict your growth you are stifling the very potential God has placed in you trust that God knows what he is doing. When he asked you to let go of those who are hindering your growth. He is not only protecting your present, but he is also making weight for your future. He knows that you need space to grow and he desires for you to walk in the freedom of becoming the person he has designed you to be the right people will come into your life to help you grow and they will encourage you to move forward when you release those who are holding you back you are making room for the growth healing and transformation that God has in store for you. Trust his guidance and step into the future. He is prepared, knowing that it is a future where you will thrive and fulfill your divine purpose!!
