They come in all shapes and sizes. They keep stuff in. They keep other stuff out. In one respect, doors are barriers.
However, doors are not permanent barriers. They can be opened. Sometimes you have to use a key. Other times, all you have to do is knock.
There are barriers in life that keep us from doing the things we need or want to do. If we do nothing about them, we let these barriers stunt our potential! What we should do is find the key that fits the keyhole or work up the courage to knock.Jesus Christ said, "Knock, and it shall be opened unto you" (Matthew 7:7). What barriers are keeping you from Christ and His love? What barriers are stunting your eternal growth? How can you, personally, find the strength to reach out and knock? We cannot imagine the wonders that await us on the other side of that door. It would be like stepping into a whole new world...
I love the imagery and symbolism!
ReplyDeleteAnother great scripture and teaching about doors:
"And they pitched their tents round about the temple, every man having his tent with the door thereof towards the temple, that thereby they might remain in their tents and hear the words which king Benjamin should speak unto them;" -Mosiah 2:6
