You and Only You

     One day, I was sitting in a meditative mode and I heard the Lord say, "Some doors open for you and only you".  In the same scenario, I saw a person debating whether they should go through the door because someone they are in relationship with is not going to be able to go with them.  When I worked for a University, I saw so many students torn between embracing college and remaining in a relationship with someone who just was not accepted.  It was not going to work for them.  College was going to split the two.  Some students even left college to go home and attend Jr. college with their peers who weren't college material.  Sometimes, the door swings open and the only way you are going to go through it is alone.  You can't take your family members, you can't take your church, you can't take your friends and you may have to leave your mother and father.  The door was never their destiny and to try to squeeze them in a place that does not fit is wrong.  I have a millionaire in my family.  She has doors opened to her that is not open for the rest of us.  I understand that.  She is not obligated to pay my mortgage or buy me a car simply because she is my rich cousin.  That door has not opened to me yet. It is not wrong that she takes full advantage of where she is in life.  You can get into so much trouble by trying to drag people who aren't prepared for where you are going with you.  When they get there, they are uncomfortable, they are unprepared and they will fail.  You have taken them to a place where they were never meant to be.  Some doors you just have to go through alone.
