Which Door?

"For everything there is a season,
a time for every activity under heaven.
A time to be born and a time to die.
A time to plant and a time to harvest.
A time to kill and a time to heal.
A time to tear down and a time to build up.

A time to cry and a time to laugh.
A time to grieve and a time to dance.
A time to scatter stones and a time to gather stones.
A time to embrace and a time to turn away.
A time to search and a time to quit searching.
A time to keep and a time to throw away.
A time to tear and a time to mend.
A time to be quiet and a time to speak.
A time to love and a time to hate.
A time for war and a time for peace."

[Ecclesiastes 3:1-8]

So as of late, I have realized that many doors open and close for us. They can be doors of opportunity, doors that lead us to the people we need to surround ourselves with, or even doors that lead us to make decisions to cut out people in our lives. Sometimes the doors we are given to walk through are easy and painless, some are hard and hurtful. I truly believe that we are given choices as to what door we want to walk through. The right one and the wrong one. Sometimes we choose the wrong one. We give into temptation, we allow ourselves to hang out with people that we know aren't right for us. Sometimes the right door to walk through is not the most attractive door or the most appealing, but it offers us a positive outcome. We have become so enthralled by the outward appearance of things. There are times when it is better to step back, evaluate which decision is RIGHT, regardless of how it may look. God knows best. If He leads you to walk through the ugly, beat up door then take it. The pretty, nicely painted door could be attractive but at the same time it's the wrong one. You will know in your heart of hearts which door is the right one. It's up to you to make the decision of which one to walk through. One can bring you life, the other may bring you death and destruction. When it comes time for you to choose, don't be distracted by the WRONG door, you may just miss the opportunity to walk through the RIGHT door.

Which door do you choose?

"When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us."
