Sitting here in time with an angel by my side

I find myself thankful in this sweet embrace

Although time has passed by

I've landed where I feel at home in this space.

 

A spiritual realm comes to me at night when I sleep

Believing there is something greater than that of what I see

Unbecoming a distant dream when spending time alone

With only me in sight and letting go of the unknown.

🌟 Heaven’s Knocking: Step-by-Step Guide to Recognize Divine Opportunities

🙏 1. Stay Spiritually Attuned

  • Begin each day with prayer and quiet reflection.

  • Ask for discernment and sensitivity to divine nudges.

  • Keep your heart open to unexpected signs and inner stirrings.

🔍 2. Recognize the Signs

  • Persistent inner nudges: A recurring idea, dream, or passion that won’t fade.

  • Unusual encounters: Chance meetings or conversations that feel purposeful.

  • Closed doors elsewhere: When one path ends, another may be divinely opening.

  • Challenges that stretch you: Growth often comes disguised as discomfort.

📖 3. Align with Scripture and Values

  • Test every opportunity against God’s Word and your core values.

  • Ask: “Does this align with love, truth, and service?”

  • Divine doors never require compromising your integrity.

  • Recognize that divine opportunities are gifts, not entitlements.

  • Give thanks for every open door, even the ones that stretch you.

  • Humility keeps you aligned with purpose.
