Closure is a beautiful thing
And anyone can have it...
The Word tells us that "it is the glory of God to conceal a matter" (Proverbs 25:2). This means that God likes closure, not exposure. To conceal is to cover over and heal. God prefers that wrongs and troubles are closed and made well, not left open. Closure is a healer and exposure is an unhealer.
The God kind of closure is wonderful because it takes care of wrongs and troubles done to us or by us. Closure does not change the fact of the past, but it does something else just as good: It changes the effects of the past. That way we can be okay and move on. It's all around us, just waiting to happen. It's built into life, if we know about it and accept it. If you cut your finger, it covers over. If you scrape a tree, it does the same.
Closure is a Divine gift. It's received, not acquired. Everyone wants it because we want things made right. God wants it to, and He never intended that life be a constant toil. After all, Jesus Himself said "My yoke (or way) is easy and my burden is light" (Matthew 11:30). Give it to God today...let go and let in.
Every blessing,
