When God closes a door, it's because He has something better in store. Just as God supernaturally brings people into our lives, He will supernaturally move people out of our lives, as well. When a person has served their purpose, if we don't freely let them go, we won't be able to move forward into the new things God wants us to do; and we can't fully become who He desires for us to be.

Like a crutch we use when we're injured, God, puts people in our lives for a period of time to help us through difficult situations. But, there comes a time where we have to let go of them in order to develop into our full potential. A crutch isn't always supposed to be used forever. If a crutch is used for too long, we can become too dependent on it; and our strength and full potential is weakened.

Take an evaluation of your life. See if there are any crutches you've held on to for too long. They might have been good at one time, but now God is trying to take you to a new level. The crutch that was once used for your good is now keeping you back. God has equipped, anointed and empowered you to do the task at hand and to fulfill the calling on your life. As you take courage and remove the crutches in your life, you will rise up with new confidence and discover new talents, gifts and potential that you never knew you had!
