This morning as I looked over my notes from Sundays message, my eyes fell on these words our pastor spoke as part of his message, Open Doors: Today, forget what’s gone, appreciate what still remains and look forward to what’s next.
That has pretty much been my motto in life. I can’t change the past! Mistakes I’ve made can only be learned from so I don’t repeat them. I can’t predict my future. ‘What if’ living will keep me from being the best I can be right now. I must live today always looking for opportunities wherever I am to leave a good mark of love on whomever God places in my path. I want to be an attraction to Christ, the light of His love must shine brightly each day.
Matthew 7:7-8 NIRV “Ask, and it will be given to you. Search, and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened to you. 8 Everyone who asks will receive. He who searches will find. The door will be opened to the one who knocks.”
Father, I’m asking to know you more. I can’t do anything about what’s behind me nor in front of me. You know my future better than I do. All I can do is ask that you watch over your Word to perform it. Whatever you’ve promised, you will bring to pass. I trust in you. I will take my hand off the door knob and allow you to open every door you want open in my life. I commit my ways to you. YOU will bring it to pass. As you’ve said so many times to me to keep my eyes on you, that is what I will strive to do now and always. If I have to put blinders on and my head up to the sky, I will keep my eyes on you. I will seek you with all my heart. My steps have been ordered from the beginning and I trust you, always! If it doesn’t make sense, than I know for sure it’s you. I love you Father and my heart is set on you. Open every door that you’ve intended me to walk through and close every door that would hinder my relationship with you. In Jesus’ Name. Amen
