Have you ever prayed to God to remove someone from your life, if they weren’t meant to be there? And then, when it happens, you’re left caught between two emotions: do you celebrate because your prayer was answered, or do you grieve because you’ve lost someone you once held close? It’s a strange, bittersweet feeling—the heartache of losing someone you cared deeply for, mixed with the quiet relief of making space for someone that will enrich your life in ways you never expected. Sometimes, growth requires a little pain, but it always opens the door to something better.
