I have been a little preoccupied with doors as of late. We built a deck last fall and are in the process of choosing a door to lead from our kitchen to our deck. I never knew I had so many choices in a door: French, sliding, single entry, double entry. So I have started to really look at all the doors I go in and out of. This morning I opened my bedroom door, closed the bathroom door, locked the house door, opened the garage door, slid the van door and pulled out of the driveway. Five doors and I hadn't even gotten to work!
All these doors have different appearances but the same purpose. They serve as a swinging or sliding barrier intended to keep us safe, to let in friends and keep out burglars, to protect us from the cold and wind. With out a door, I will just have a huge gaping hole in my kitchen! As I shop for a door that is functional and beautiful I am reminded of the one door that never wears out and always protects, a door that fills all of my huge gaping holes.
I will try to see Him in every door I use today.
John 10:9 (English Standard Version) I am the door. If anyone enters by me he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture.
Thanks Rachel,
ReplyDeleteI needed that. In and out of the many doors that I might travel through in a day, I rarely think of that. Sometimes believe it or not I become mission focused instead of experientially focused. Especially when cramming that screaming toddler through the car door, LOL.
I will be pondering this ;)
Your welcome. I also appreciate YOUR comment- sometimes it's hard to know if anyone actually reads these. Nice to hear you do!
ReplyDeletep.s.
still no door purchase made as of yet. I am kinda enjoying door shopping and thinking about what that door will remind me of. It's gotta be just the right one!
