Accept the things that don't go right in your life as signposts to turn a new & better direction.
A lost opportunity, a thwarted plan, a shut door - at first glance they all look like failure. But look more closely, and you'll see something else. Lost opportunities are simply opportunities with someone else's name on them. Thwarted plans are plans that weren't right for you. And a shut door? Look carefully, and you'll probably see a sign on it that reads, "Not your address. Try another door." Don't get discouraged when things don't go according to plan, when you get to what seemed to be an open door only to find it closed on you. This is simply God's way of steering you to the right path for you. Change your plan. Look for a new door. I have confidence that you'll always find your way.
'I am satisfied that when the Almighty wants me to do or not do any particular thing he finds a way of letting me know.' ~Abraham Lincoln
The steps of the godly are directed by the Lord. He delights in every detail of their lives. Psalm 37:23
