You see two DOORS.
One DOOR
has the word
HERE
above it,
and the other
DOOR
has the word
THERE
above it.
Both are OPEN.
Which do you choose?
THE HERE DOOR
is OPENED
to what you do KNOW.
It won't cost you much,
as you
KNOW
where you will be,
because as soon
as you take your first step
you will still be
HERE.
HERE is comfortable.
HERE is familiar,
because
STATUS QUO LIVING
is okay for you,
as you are just
SURVIVING.
HERE IS THE COMFORTABLE PLACE OF SAME.
For as soon as you walk through this
DOOR
everything will be the
SAME
because you will still be
THE SAME
and
WHAT IS will STILL BE THE SAME.
But so what if THE WHAT IS STILL THE SAME,
then so be it,
because it is so much easier to
WAIT IN HERE
then to expect anything MORE.
But then there is
THE OPEN DOOR
of
THE THERE DOOR
that will take you to the
UKNOWN.
To the
UNFAMILIAR.
Walking through this
DOOR
will cost you,
as you will be leaving what you
KNOW
to go to what is UNKNOWN.
You will need
COURAGE.
You will need
TRUST.
You will need
FAITH,
because you have never been
THERE before,
and you can't SEE
where THERE will take you.
But you are tired of just
SURVIVING and LIVING at STATUS QUO
and you do want MORE.
And you question yourself,
"what if you did walk through the DOOR OF THERE",
what would happen to THE WHAT you are LEAVING BEHIND?
Would you be GIVING UP on on all that you are
prayerfully
WAITING to change in the HERE & NOW?
Which DOOR do you pick?
THE THERE DOOR
is not giving up on
THE WHAT IS HERE.
THE THERE DOOR
is where
LIFE BEGINS
and never stops.
THE THERE DOOR
is not running away from
your current circumstances
that you want changed.
THE THERE DOOR
is not running away from
your current sorrows.
THE THERE DOOR is where
THE PEACE that transcends all understanding is birthed.
THE THERE DOOR is where
THE JOY of the LORD overwhelms your soul.
THE THERE DOOR is where
HOPE becomes REAL.
THE THERE DOOR is where
JESUS stands with
OPENED ARMS
inviting you to
COME,
so that HE WILL CARE for all that you
CARE ABOUT in the HERE & NOW
that you are LEAVING BEHIND TO HIM~
"If you will humble yourselves under the mighty hand of GOD,
in HIS good time HE will lift you up.
Let HIM have all your worries and cares,
for HE is always thinking about you and
watching everything that concerns you" (I Peter 5:7).
The THERE DOOR is
where you experience
MORE OF JESUS
so that you are able to
REALLY LIVE IN THE HERE & NOW,
because
THERE becomes
LIVING HERE WITH JESUS!
Because HE becomes everything that you NEED
while waiting for what you want.
Because no matter if what you want is not in the
HERE & NOW,
you finally realize
that when you
have
ALL THAT YOU NEED IN JESUS,
HE is actually
ALL THAT YOU WANT
&
ALL THAT YOU NEED
in order for you to
PRESS FORWARD into the UNKOWN
that is IMMEASURABLY MORE
then what is in the KNOWN.
Therefore,
walk through
THE OPEN DOOR OF THERE~
"Brothers and sisters,
I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it.
But one thing I do:
Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead,
I press on toward the goal to win the prize
for which GOD has called me
heavenward in CHRIST JESUS" (Philippians 3:13-14).
Because THERE is where you will experience
MORE LIFE in the HERE & NOW
because
THE DOOR OF THERE
is where
JESUS ALWAYS GIVES YOU MORE
than you could ever imagine,
because
HE IS THE MORE in ALL your LESS.
JESUS' DOOR is ALWAYS OPENED
and that my friend
is how
THE DOOR OF THERE
brings JESUS into your HERE~
"But when I look in your eyes (JESUS), I see heaven break through. And it's making me believe, My miracle is YOU"*
*(from the song MIRACLE, listen below)
