John 10:7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. 9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture

Ever feel like you are locked out, the doors are all closed for you, you just can't reach God no matter how much you have tried? You have tried all other things to fill that void in you and are still not satisfied? Pet projects, hard works don't do anything for you, Drugs don't fill it, Sex doesn't, Food wont, false religion filled with works wont either. Some think there is a pearly gate blocking the entrance to heaven with a bouncer sitting there named Peter. Some think to get to God you have to go threw a man and work and try real hard to be perfect. Fact is only Threw Jesus can you be satisfied. Only Threw Jesus can you see the Father. Mohammed didn't die for you, Buddha didn't, Gandhi didn't, "mother earth" didn't. Only Jesus was pierced for your transgressions and nailed to the cross and died and arose again on the third day. All others before and after him could never do such a thing, they did not rise from the dead and become glorified. Jesus said he is the Door, go threw him and have rest, find pastures that will satisfy your hungry soul. Knock and he will open. He is sitting there now at the door of your heart, tapping and waiting for you to respond. Will you open it and find a new life or will you keep it shut and locked tight and find yourself locked out of heaven?
oh sweetie this is so true and so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSo true! I just wish we could get more people to believe this. It is so hard to get some unbelievers to believe what they "cannot see" Don't they see proof of Him everywhere? Father, help others to see your love and sacrificial giving. Amen.

i have felt that way, like i have tried to reach God and couldn't. but looking back i believe it's b/c i was doing it for selfish reasons and i didn't really have faith to begin with. and you're right, drugs,sex, food, nothing satisfies that emptiness you feel inside. thank you for your beautiful entry. btw, i'm sorry you're in debt over the girl scout cookies but i could pitcure your daughter asleep w/ the box & i couldn't help but smile. i bet she looked cute.
