Life has a way of placing people in our path for a reason. Some arrive to love us, some to teach us, some to challenge us, and some to show us what we will never again accept.
When someone’s true colours come out, it can sting in the moment — but with distance, you see it as a divine form of protection.
God doesn’t always whisper, “They’re not for you”.
Sometimes He shows you plainly, through their actions, so you can walk away with certainty.
1. True Colours Are a Blessing
From a psychological view, we’re wired to want people to be who we hoped they were. That’s why early red flags can be hard to accept — the confirmation bias in our brain looks for evidence that supports our original belief about someone.
But when their behaviour becomes undeniable, it snaps us out of that bias. It’s as if God is saying:
“I don’t want you to waste another moment on this illusion.”
2. The Role of Gratitude
Gratitude here isn’t about being thankful for bad treatment. It’s about being thankful for:
- The truth revealed
- The time saved
- The emotional energy spared in the long run
- The space it creates for something better to enter
Gratitude shifts your brain into a growth mindset — the prefrontal cortex starts seeing opportunity instead of loss, which heals the heart faster.
3. God’s Mysterious Timing
Sometimes the timing feels cruel. You might wonder why you didn’t see it sooner. But divine timing often works like a master chess player — moving pieces in ways we don’t understand until we look back.
What feels like loss today often turns out to be a redirection toward something deeply aligned with our soul.
The truth?
When people reveal their true nature, they’re giving you the chance to choose yourself — and that’s never a mistake in God’s plan.
