LOCKED DOORS
By Sally I. Kennedy
Apr 13 2009
Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them (again)
and said, "Peace be with you!" John 20:26
We were having dinner, and even with the animated chatter I could hear
the door bang closed.
When we have family get-togethers, it's a fun time for the kids to
turn the workshop room into a clubhouse. Handwritten signs soon
decorate the door: 'KeeepOut!!', 'No grils allowd', 'boys oly'.
Although we have a 'management rule' about locking doors, that
sometimes seems to get ignored, so I headed back to check the goings-
on. They were having a great time. The cookie stash was in one corner,
and were making all spy and stakeout plans; very busy indeed.
In our lives don't we, too, have locked doors? Places we have unknown
secret desires, hopes, hurts? Locked away. Kept at bay, unspoken. I
realize that is true for myself.
God is the God of the breakthrough. He can step into closed off,
locked doors and areas in our hearts, and in our minds, and when He
does, He says, "Peace be with you". Peace be with YOU.
Come, Lord Jesus. Come today through locked doors, even those we may
not realize we have. Thank You for coming with a breaker anointing,
love, and healing. Amen.
