You have heard the saying, “When God closes one door, he opens another.” But to me it has always felt a second best. A consolation prize. Something I didn’t really want.
But the other day I saw it differently… I had to cancel an important meeting because of a Covid incident. I felt disappointed. But now with free time on my hands, I took a long walk with someone. It turned out they were asking the question, “What is the point?” And this conversation was SO IMPORTANT, God had to clear my diary!
Could it be that when God shuts a door, it is because he has an urgent need for us to be his heart and hands, his feet and voice?

You may have had a life changing conversation with this woman!
It seems person to person connections are so powerful. Made me think of Jesus talking to the two guys on the road to Emmaus. That sparked a revolution!
Thanks, Lani. A great thought! x
