The Door Was Already Open
There are moments in life when we find ourselves standing before a closed door.
We pray for it to open. We wait for an answer. We wonder if we have somehow lost our way.
Then, almost without realizing it, we discover that God was never asking us to force open what had already been left behind.
He was quietly leading us toward another door all along.
This weathered doorway has stood through many seasons. Its stones bear the marks of time, yet the door itself remains open, welcoming rather than waiting. Beyond it lies still water, gentle light and a path that disappears into a horizon filled with promise.
Nothing rushes us forward.
Nothing demands that we have every answer before taking the next step.
It simply invites us to walk through.
Perhaps that is how God's guidance often comes.
Not with certainty about every mile ahead...
But with enough light to take the next faithful step.
We spend so much of life looking back at doors that have closed that we almost miss the one standing open before us. Yet His grace has never been trapped behind yesterday's disappointments. Long before we recognized the way forward, He had already gone before us, preparing what we could not yet see.
The invitation has always been there.
The path has always been waiting.
Perhaps faith is not finding the courage to open the door, but discovering it was already open.
