Open My Eyes Lord . . .

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.

I have to learn that the aim in life is God's, not mine. God is using me from His great personal standpoint, and all He asks of me is that I trust Him, and never say - Lord, this gives me such heart-ache. To talk in that way makes me a clog. When I stop telling God what I want, He can catch me up for what He wants without let or hindrance. He can crumple me up or exalt me, He can do anything He chooses. He simply asks me to have implicit faith in Himself and in His goodness. Self pity is of the devil, if I go off on that line I cannot be used by God for His purpose in the world. I have "a world within the world" in which I live, and God will never be able to get me outside it because I am afraid of being frost-bitten.

My Utmost for His Highest

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart;

And lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him,

And he shall direct thy paths.

Proverbs 3:5-6
