Doors
I had a question that has been clouding my mind.
I thought I would be able to derive an answer to that question.
On Sunday, I carried that question to church.
"Would God close the door that has been opened?"
To me, an open door would mean an open door, or else why doesn't God close it in the first place and vice versa.
I felt I needed an answer at that moment. And God sent my mentor.
She told me that God may have opened up the doors for me, but the main door will be closed. She added on to say that sometimes its not God that opens the door, but its the devil...Yes, the little devil in us that goes against the will on God. So God will open that door to test our hearts, and after testing, He will then close the door.
I was so reluctant to surrender to God yesterday when Aunty Muifong asked me to leave it all up to Him. I knew her words were the very words of God when she prayed for me the minute I agreed to entrust into His hands. The tears that fell brought healing to my soul and I felt completely restored. Its in His presence that I've been humbled and its times like this that allows me to acknowledge His everlasting grace and mercy once again. Thank you Lord!
=Her encouraging words=
1) God never fails me
2) Obedience
3) My will being in tune with God's will
4) I don't have to fear the future
5) God is not a God of Confusion but a God of Peace
6) God has a plan for me
7) Stop complaining
8) Surrender to Him
9) Have faith
10) Wait on Him
So, would God open or close the door for me? I don't know. But I want Him to be the doorman of my life.
