You've had to use the bathroom for a while; in fact, you've been holding it painfully too long, waiting for your spouse to finish. After wearing a pattern in the carpet, you finally make it inside; squeezing as tightly as possible while you get in position, so as not to make a mess. You sit down, breathe a sigh of relief, close your eyes, and tilt your head back; thankful that your bladder no longer feels like it's holding a car. You're completely relieved and as you reach for the toilet paper...there are only three little squares dangling from the roll.

Why God Sometimes Won't Open or Close Doors
It's been said when God closes one door, He opens another. It's also been said when God closes a door, He opens a window. I get it; these are hope-giving declarations that encourage us to continue moving forward when it looks like things aren't in our favor. Though these statements are worldly; not scriptural, I can still appreciate the positive perspective.
Can You Go to Hell for These Things?
The answer is an emphatic NO; but let's talk about the "things" and expound with scripture. It's grieving that so many believers live in fear; but the pressures of living your life, thinking you can lose your salvation because of something you've done, becomes paralyzing.
The Challenge of Seeing Behind the Scenes
Over the past few years, the Lord has sent us to many places; homes, churches, and other establishments where the love of Christ was needed. Needless to say; it wasn't always a gentle and tender hug fest. Sometimes, the Lord admonishes with rebuke, which isn't regularly received without distain. I've been there, so I understand, but that doesn't make it any easier. One consistent truth about the Lord is that He loves people, and He will go out of His way in an attempt to rescue them.
