I love beautiful old doors. There's just something so
appealing about them. A lovely door is so welcoming. I hope the door to my soul
is welcoming to God as these beautiful old doors. As a Christian, my
personality and behavior should indicate a welcoming door to others.
There are endless possibilities awaiting on the other
side of a door. God opens doors for us all the time. Do we always open
them? How do we use the possibilities awaiting on the other side? There
are several verses of scripture that refer to doors, and the symbolism they
contain is so meaningful.
When I think of a welcoming door, this quote comes to mind. Although
I don't know who said it, I think it is worth sharing.
Prayers
should be the key in the morning and the
lock at night.
