THE DOOR
“Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears my voice and
opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with me.”
Revelation 3:20
*~*~*~*~*~*
From Seventh Dimension – The Door, a Young Adult
Christian Fantasy:
The door creaked
as I turned the handle. I held my breath and peered through the tiny slit. Moving
shadows darkened the room.
—Shale Snyder,
chapter one
*~*~*~*~*~*
Sometimes
doors are closed and padlocked. Experiences from our past haunt us, making us
afraid to open them. We want to be healed, but our sorrow and fear may prevent
us from taking that leap of faith. We must all face our worst nightmare, but
God promises even if we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, he will
be there.
Shale was hiding in a closet,
afraid of people, haunted by her past and afraid of her future. She was a
prisoner of her foolish mistakes and insecurities.
Allow God in—open the door of
your heart to the one and only one who can heal you.
Thank you, Jesus, for standing at the door and waiting for me to open
it. Thank you that you know all my failures and mistakes and don’t hold them
against me.
I invite you into the secret places that no one else can see. Help me
to accept your love and receive your forgiveness. Thank you that you’re
trustworthy and true, a father and a friend—my Savior.
