The Open Door

Sometimes God opens a door when we least expect it!

One day I called GoDaddy to ask some questions. A young woman answered and gave me her name.

“That’s the name of my best friend from elementary school,” I exclaimed, “and we’re still in touch. How do you spell your name?”

My question became God's open door.  

Later, Malia mentioned an experience at work that ended positively. I couldn’t resist adding, “I have God in my life, and that sounds like something He would do. Perhaps you’re a Christian?”

“Yes. God is with me every day.”

Malia said to me, “Gail, I see that your current website highlights your books. After talking with you, I think you should consider creating a small website. This would let people know who you are, your vision and how you can provide assistance to others through your own wisdom and teachings.” 

I sat in my chair, astonished by her comments. Only God could have given Malia those insights about my future and my desire to connect with women personally. With confidence, I said yes to a new website.

The next day Malia sent me a recap of our conversation. She ended with, “I’m super excited to see your vision become reality.” My viewpoint: God’s vision expressed through Malia!

Keep on asking,
and you will receive
what you ask for.
Keep on seeking,
and you will find.
Keep on knocking
and the door
will be opened to you.

Matthew 7:8 (NLT)

I had been knocking and asking God to show me the way. Then He opened the door and Malia walked into my life!

Have you seen God open a door for you? What was the outcome?
