Even though each world in Kingdom Hearts is open to us for general exploration, there are still many areas within each level that aren’t designed for us to interact with. There are doors that we can’t enter, areas in the distance that we can’t reach, and even entire buildings that look real but are only a facade. While finding a closed door can feel frustrating and disappointing, the truth is we aren’t missing out on anything… because these areas that appear fun and exciting on the outside don’t actually contain anything. They may look like viable destinations that contain hidden treasures, but the designer of the game knew exactly what we would need for our adventure and where we are meant to go. Doors that don’t lead anywhere productive or contain anything worth finding are meant to remain closed.

The Lord has prepared a unique and specific path for each of us, and along the way we will all see doorways in life that were not designed to be accessible to us. Some closed doors are meant for us to open at a later time, while others are simply not ours to unlock. But one of the greatest proofs that we are walking in faith is our ability to accept a closed door from the Lord without needing a reason why. His grace is sufficient for us, He knows what He’s doing, and even these closed doors are all part of His perfect plan.

Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 2 Corinthians 12:8-9

And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write, “These things says He who is holy, He who is true, He who has the key of David, He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens”. Revelation 3:7

Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” whenever you turn to the right hand or whenever you turn to the left. Isaiah 30:21
