The Doors are Closed

Have you ever give thanks to God for "the doors" that
enclosed in your lives as you give thanks for
the doors "open?

Perhaps now you are wondering why God did not
grant my prayer to be able to work in the company?
Why do businesses and businesses that path and I wish I did not succeed
even often fail?
Why is my relationship with my boyfriend ran aground in the middle road?

Such questions that often arise in our minds,
in the dreams, hopes and our aspirations are not achieved and even
mess.

Do we ever think that every time God closed a door,
actually God is directing us to another door where
a better blessing waiting for us?

Often we can not think clearly and see the truth about
it is because our souls languish because of sadness and eyes
We blurred with tears. We forgot all about the truth of the
says that God guides us like a father guiding
son, like a good shepherd leads his sheep that
weak and foolish. We forget about the truth of the saying; "...... if
you are evil, know how to give what is good for your children, especially
longer your Father in heaven !......"

One of the reasons why God closed a door or a door
in our lives, that is because behind those doors is not
available
something valuable for our lives, or also there may be something that
that will not bring anything good for us.
