4 Factors God May Eliminate Someone From Your Life

Here are 7 factors God might eliminate someone from your life.

Took them for Granted

This one might be the most hurtful. When I was in high school, I dated a lovely lady and took her for granted. I would just appear on Friday nights to take her out on a date with my friends. She never quite understood what time I ‘d reveal up. I simply knew she ‘d be there … until one Friday night. I pertained to her home and recognized that her family had actually moved. I found a “For Sale” sign in the front backyard. I had actually waited an entire week to call her … however it was one day a lot of. God may have eliminated her from my life due to the fact that I took her for given. I didn’t deserve her. God knew I wasn’t great for her then, still living as a unsaved boy.

 

To Be With Him

Years back, a young pastor and his spouse tragically lost their child by a freak accident in your home. I don’t believe anybody people can comprehend what that must seem like. There may be some who have been through such an awful loss, however when a child passes away, it’s even harder to accept because they had their entire life in front of them. What about all of the missed out on Christmas’, birthday parties, bubble baths, and high school proms? This might be the most challenging thing for anybody to accept, so why does God remove somebody so precious from our lives? I don’t know. Perhaps it’s so that they can be with Him … and we too will be with Him … and them, at some point! That’s the hope followers have.

Too Harmful

When God gets rid of somebody from our lives, maybe it’s due to the fact that He knows that they’re poisonous for us. God understands who will be a bad impact and knows what trouble this may bring, so God, in His knowledge, gets rid of someone that we might not even realize is dragging us down … perhaps into wicked practices. If you understood something was incorrect with your car, you ‘d most likely take it into a mechanic and have them look it over, so God often examines our circumstance and understands that we are in some cases better off without somebody, so God just eliminates them from our life. Remember in the first paragraph? God eliminated me from my old girlfriend’s life because I was poisonous to her and likewise took her for approved.

Someone Else

God might get rid of someone from your life in order to bring somebody else in. That’s! Often, people can dominate a relationship. They may be individuals who have a great deal of needs, and a few individuals I have actually counseled have actually informed me that they are being used, and they finally had enough. They could not continue the relationship since it was constantly a one-way street, so when that person leaves, hope to God for somebody that will help you grow as an individual and in the faith.

Addition by Subtraction

Recently, among our church members left our parish. This individual had been slamming practically everyone you might think of. I got calls from him at numerous times about “such and such is doing this or that,” however I ‘d typically discover later he was assuming the incorrect thing, and assuming things can be very thin ice to walk on. If we think wrong, then we’ve thought the worst because person, so I think God removes specific members who are grumbling due to the fact that it threatens to contaminate the entire church, so periodically, the church includes members by subtraction. When the “constant grumbler” lastly left, a number of new individuals appeared, and older members starting coming back; that’s addition by subtraction. I genuinely think God got rid of that individual in the finest interests of the church.

Bad Business Corrupts

The Apostle Paul wrote, “Do not be deceived: “Bad company ruins excellent morals” (1st Cor 15:33). Instead of do those things we utilized to do in keeping up the world, we are commanded to “Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them” (Eph 5:11). If we “expose them” they are not going to like that, and they will leave you as quickly as they can, but that’s fine, so “Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what collaboration has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness” (2nd Cor 6:14)? The response is nothing, so if an individual professing faith in Christ is living in sin, expose them. That might trigger them to be gotten rid of from your life, which is certainly for your own great.

He Understands the Future

God can see down the passages of time, however more precisely, God has actually currently been to the end and the beginning, and understands every single thing that’s going to occur in your life, so when we lose a good friend or perhaps a partner from our life, we need to rely on the sovereignty of God. God will take each and every single second of our lives and use it for good, even if it’s really, actually bad at the time (Rom 8:28). For instance, God would know that in about 4 years, you’ll get your degree, however if your friend is still around for those 4 years, they might attempt to talk you out of completing college and state it’s just a big waste of time and money … and you may believe them. Losing an unique buddy can truly squash us, however grapes that are never ever crushed can never ever make the white wine; wheat that’s not ground can never make the bread. God knows that our pain will be our ultimate gain. I trust Him … more than a million friends.

Conclusion

The Bible informs us that there is “A good friend enjoys at all times, and a brother is born for adversity” (Prov 17:17), and “there is a buddy who sticks closer than a brother” or sis (Prov 18:24 b). Do you have that type of pal? If not, find one, and to find a pal, simply be a pal, since buddies become better with every passing day.

*** October 4th, 2026 *** 

Can you believe fall is here?  All Hallow’s Eve and Thanksgiving is just around the corner.  We wish you the wonderful opportunity to experience God’s beauty with the changing of the leaves and colors of His amazing creation!

Our prayer here at the LIGHT! is that you would experience God’s love and reflect the light of Jesus to all whom the Spirit brings into your life.  In excelsis Deo!

Please pray for the war that we are undertaking with Iran right now.  Pray for the soldiers who are in harms way and for the family of those who’ve fallen.  Pray that we would be able to achieve peace and be clear about why we are there.

Please continue to pray for our divided country.  May not only the Truth of Jesus prevail but also the “truth” of reality.  Helping Americans to focus more on solving problems using facts rather than debating even what the facts are is much more productive.  Let the politicians focus on *policy*.  We, as the Church, should focus on our *culture* and not depend on policy to define culture.  As we have said many times, “you can’t legislate morality.”  We can, however, be “winsome” as the Bible encourages us to be, and “win some” of our friends who are not yet believers to the faith!

Please pray for peace in the Middle East between Hamas and Israel.  We unequivocally support Israel’s right to defend itself.  We support non-Hamas affiliated Palestinians who want peace – they need humanitarian relief.  Israel should not be oppressing these folks.

Continue to pray for the Ukraine & Russian people suffering under Putin. Please pray for President Trump to stand against this aggression and to ensure the continued aid for the Ukrainians to keep fighting for their independence from the authoritarian regime of Vladimir Putin. 

*** Based on your feedback we will shift to hosting the services online even after the risk of COVID has lessened ***

Services
Our current focus is on learning more about “Welcoming the Stranger” – God’s heart for us as His people in how we show hospitality to those who are aliens in our land – status notwithstanding.

Looking forward to seeing everyone there!
