I have always believed and been taught that God directs our lives. If you have faith and believe, his hand will lead you. I know from personal experience that I have questioned some of the "doors" that were opened and shut in my life. I haven't always been happy or pleased.  The good, the bad and the ugly.

Today a dear sweet friend of mine sent me this pic.

I love the idea of the key with the words on it. I have read, seen, repeated it often, and I believe it to be true. You may think that you know which doors should and should not be opened and closed for you. Have faith, God will open and shut the right doors for you ......he gets to pick. 

 Matthew 7:7

"Ask and it will be given to you,

seek and you will find,

knock and the door will be opened unto you." 

1. There are at least two people in this world that you would die for.

2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.

3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you,

 is because they want to be just like you.

4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone,

even if they don't like you.

5. Every night, SOMEONE

thinks about you before they go to sleep.

6. You mean the world to someone.

7. You are special and unique.

8. Someone that you don't even know exists loves you.

9. When you make the biggest mistake ever,

something good comes from it.

10. When you think the world has turned its back on you

take another look.
