A closed open door

There are many doors in our lives.
Doors we want to open
Doors we are afraid to open
Doors we shouldn’t open
Doors we are destined to open.

Luke 13:24 “Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter & will not be able to.”

You know those days when you find yourself by a slightly open door, you peek in out of curiosity & you get a glimpse of the face of Jesus. Abundance of joy, hope & love is radiating through the door. Everything in you wants to open that door & spend time with the Lord.

There’s a hesitation, the things you need/want to do, appointments to keep, goals to accomplish, etc.

Meanwhile, your soul keeps pulling you back to the door. Then fear enters your mind: “Jesus is going to be mad at me,” “I’m not worthy to enter that door,” “I’m not wanted.”

Then a miracle happens, Jesus who knows our every thought, opens the door for us with welcome arms of love.

Rev 3:8 “I know your deeds. See I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word & have not denied my name.”

My prayer for all of us is that daily we open the door to the place where Jesus is in all aspects of our lives. The amazing thing about the LORD is that he isn’t limited behind one door. Just as he invited us, we can invite him to enter every door we open, to be with us when doors close, to give us courage & strength to open doors we fear & to close doors we need to let go of. I pray this, with all of my heart & soul. The cool thing is, we will all meet behind the doors that lead to heaven. Till then, let’s hold onto the hand of our LORD as we venture through the doors of our lives. In Jesus’ precious name I pray, Amen.
