Doors offer safety when locked. An open door gives us the feeling of being welcomed, invited, and accepted. There are a lot of spiritual references concerning doors and in the Church world, they are mentioned in much that we do. Oh, how we celebrate when those spiritual doors swing open. Situations we have prayed, sometimes years for, just seem to swing right on open and we walk right on through.

However, it has been my experience at times, that certain doors stay closed for a reason. It's not that God is deaf, it's just not our room behind that door. And to push, pull, pry, beg, scream and fight to get that door open and into that room, would be spiritual burglary.

I pray every day that God leads me to every door that safely secures whatever is in the rooms meant for me.
