I found the first two lines embroidered in blue on a sampler. Only the last line is mine. Does anyone know who authored it?

When God closes a door

he opens a window,

If only to our heart

This has always been one of my "favorite old quotes," and I've collected thousands in my lifetime. I have forgotten, though, who penned this...but I do know it goes back quite a long ways. Your original last line is perfection.

Thank you for sharing it!

It was a work shop student, in a thank you letter to her tutor..
And gets quoted oftentimes.

He does to our heart, but the only way he can come in, is if we open our heart from the inside..
