Some of the new things God is going to do in your life are not going to be what you’re expecting. He’s going to do it a different way, with different people, in different circumstances. Stay open. Could it be that God is doing a new thing now and you don’t perceive it? He’s opening a door, but you don’t want to go through it, it’s not what you thought it would look like. He’s bringing people across your path that are divine connections, but they’re not what you were expecting. Don’t get set in your ways. The new thing may not look like what you had in mind.
