While Kingdom Hearts often allows the players to decide in which order we want to explore some of the worlds it contains, we can’t simply go straight from Traverse Town to our final destination. Each world we face has different difficulty levels as well as areas that require skills we haven’t acquired, so the game slowly unlocks these options to prevent us from moving too fast and getting stuck in an area that we weren’t meant to be in yet. This may feel like an unfair and unwanted limitation, but without the right amount of preparation we will only find frustration and disappointment.

We all face roadblocks in life that feel like unfair limitations, and knowing that the Lord could easily grant us our desires with one word can cause us to resent His lack of action. But just as Joseph endured pits and prisons before he was prepared to be a prince, these areas we would rather bypass are the places where critical skills and abilities that we will need later on are developed. Even Christ endured a cross before His crown, so let’s look at the level we’re currently in from a different point of view today. It’s not a delay… it’s development 🙂

My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. James 1:2-4

Though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered. Hebrews 5:8
