Maybe you had a desire to do something for the Lord, but it didn’t work out. You wanted to go here or do this or start that but it never happened. It could be that God closed that door for a reason. But one thing is for sure, God never closes a door without opening a window. If He closes one door, it’s only because He has something better for you.

The Life of Faith
The reason we don’t live radical lives like Hebrews 11 talks about, is because we lack faith. We need to believe God. To believe that he is good and that He is better then all that this world has to offer and that He is worth risking everything for. That He’s worth risking our lives for. Like the Psalmist we should be able to say, 'Because Your loving kindness is better then life, my lips will praise you.' {Psalm 63:3} You see, to many of us serve God because we think He can give us a better life. The Psalmist had it right. His lovingkindness is better then life. When we believe that, it leads us to lead lives of reckless abandon for the sake of the gospel. We need to be delivered from a lie that says, ‘I’ve received grace from God so I can live how I want and indulge in the things of this world.’ That’s not grace and that’s not faith. It misses the whole point. May God give us grace to live by faith!
