Open Doors

While I'm on vacation, it's always interesting to take pictures of doors and windows.  For some reason they say so much to me.  Here in the UK, many people give their homes a name, for instance: The Mouse House; The Rose Cottage or the Anchorage, they give us a clue of what what might be important to the owners, and what one might find inside.  Who we are on the exterior is our door. What do we look like to those passing by?  Are we putting forth a friendly, welcoming message, one that  invites people to drop in for a spot of tea?  Jesus is, as always, our example.  His door was, and is, always open.  I imagine his table set and waiting for us to join him in cozy chat. Like him, our goal should be relationship building, and what better way than showing the world our colorful open doors. "I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture." (John 10:9).
