Revelation 3:8

"I see what you've done. Now see what I've done. I've opened a door before you that no one can slam shut. You don't have much strength, I know that; you used what you had to keep my Word. You didn't deny me when times were rough.

One Door Closes .... Another Opens

This came to me today via e-mail from one of my "oldest" and dearest friends. I thought it well worth sharing as many of us are going through uncharted waters.

Revelations 3:8

When God leads you to the edge of the cliff, trust Him fully and let go. Only 1 of 2 things will happen, either He'll catch you when you fall, or He'll teach you how to fly! The power of one sentence! God is going to shift things around for you today and let things work in your favor.

Have a blessed day and remember to be a blessing...
