Doors Of Life

      I have been planning on printing this for so long! (Check her sidebar for the free download.)  I think I am going to make one for me . . . but also make some for gifts.  I just love fun looking pics like this one . . . but more than that . . . I like the emotion and inspiration it brings to my heart.  I added the Scripture at the top . . . but I think when I print the photo and frame it for others I will probably include some reflections . . . like . . . this poem or something . . .

Doors Of Life (by me :)

When God presents you with a new door 

Do you run towards it like a yummy s'more 

Ponder it like the many choices at a store 

Or is the possibility of change something you abhor?  

Some doors are enticing like chocolate icing 

But they are not meant for you.  

The right door might look scary, 

For those ones, trust Jesus, and He will carry

You through.  

Sometimes we stand in front of locked doors willing them to open up 

Instead, turn your eyes to the Way and trust He will fill your cup. 

He will guide your steps.  Look around.  Who knows 

Maybe, He has in fact, opened a window like the saying goes 

Or maybe, a different, better door is right under your nose.  

Always trust Jesus because He is ALWAYS true. 

Cling closely and His Spirit will surely lead you.  

He knows which direction is the very best, 

And for you, He wants absolutely nothing less.

So remember not to judge a door by how it appears,

Ask the Father what He thinks and listen with open ears.

If he says "go", then go through with trust,

And know this next chapter will not be a bust.

Because even the hardest rooms we enter,

Hold jewels of character at their center.

Go be where God wants you, it's the safest place

Walk humbly with faith and love in all you face.

Know that He is knocking on the door of your heart, 

Listen dear friend and please be smart . . .

If you invite Him in to live and lead,

Your soul's deepest hungers He will feed!

Ask, seek, knock on the Father's door of Glory

He will answer, be found, and write you a new story

As He fills you with gifts of His Holy Spirit

The Kingdom is being changed, can't you hear it?!

Walk in His Spirit's power and might

Trust He is with you and will take care of the fight

So choose the door you are called to go through,

And make Christ the ONE you truly pursue!
