Door Quote by Temitope Owosela
““Sometimes God closes some doors; so, that you can create a door for you to open and pass through it. The only things you must have is confidence that you can create that door where you can defeat, and faith that God allow you to create the door; or, He will open a door that you will need. But, you must create the door first before God decides to open a door for you.””

![“I'm a little frightened, perhaps. We always are, aren't we? When we have to open a door that's always been there...but we've never opened. [...] I mean frightened by the immensity of what lies beyond the door. A God of Love--infinite and eternal. How could I ever be worthy of that?” quote by Tony Hendra](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/9ca/tony-hendra-59219_love_i-m-a-little-frightened-perhaps-we-alway_1982738.jpg)
