One Door Closes..Another Opens

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 howto fly! 'The power of one sentence! God is going to shift things around for youtoday and let things work in your favor. God closes doors no man can open &God opens doors no man can close.

When you reach the end of your rope - you will find the hem of his garment..

I would rather live my life as if there is a God, and die to find out there isn't, Than live my life as if there isn't, and die to find out there is.
