The door to the human heart can be opened only from the inside. The door of opportunity is marked "push." God never closes one door without opening another.

Deep Waters and a Bubbling Brook

We see the marriage splendour
Within the open door;
We know that those who enter
Are blest for evermore;
We see our king, more lovely
Than all the sons of men;
We haste because that door once shut,
Will never open again.

Isaiah

In moving tones he sang of One who bore
The world’s great weight of grief
                and sorrow sore;
Then tuned his harp afresh, and in a strain
Of triumph sang Messiah’s coming reign.

Daniel

Time opened wide its vista to his gaze,
In vision he beheld these latter days;
Saw mighty kings and empires rise and fall,
And God’s great kingdom superseding all.
