Open Door, Closed doors....

"God shuts every door to open the best door for you"

These were the words that comforted me one fine day in 2002. I had just finished my B.E and was in the middle of a roadway not knowing where the road is going. During my final year my only ambition was to get into a job as soon as possible. But my parents insisted on me doing my post graduation. Amidst all the misunderstanding, I never bothered to prepare for my M.E admissions. I missed out the GATE exams and even the Anna University non GATE exams. I was so careless that i dint even send an application to Anna University. So the biggest of doors were shut for me. It was only after I finished my B.E that I realised that I was nowhere....
The only options I had was to try and get into some private colleges. But the donations those days for M.E Computer Science was crazy. The minimum donation would be 75000 which was much beyond what my parents could afford. So i could see the next door closing too.
In my vision there was no possibilty of getting my M.E admission that year. During those days of mental battle, I got a forwarded mail from a friend. I hardly remember the contents of the mail. But the line ' God shuts every door to open the best door for you' just struck me. It was there in the back of my mind for the next few days. Not long after, I saw a paper advertisement from Karunya Institute of Technology for M.E admissions. I put an application without much hope. But to my surprise I got the admission. The best part, I dint have to pay a penny as donation. It was indeed the best door that God had opened for me.
So friends, I want to encourage everyone with the wors of God given to the Philedelphia church in Rev. 3:7, 8. It says "What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open". Indeed my dear friends, all doors may seem to be closed but our God will open the best door for you. When he opens a door, no one can shut it....

Yes Dahlia its true when God opens door for us no one else can close it.He opens the right door at the right time when we submit to His will.

yes... submitting to His will and waiting is the most difficult thing for most of us... But He says 'Be still and know that i am God'...
