The Door is not Locked!

Have you ever done something wrong and wished that people will not scold you for it?

Do you feel afraid of others having a bad opinion of you? Or may people has excluded you in their "Gang".

Well, we all in one way or another dont like the feeling of being "REJECTED" dont we?

We want to feel welcomed, liked by others, having friends and love ones around us.

I thank God for my Mum.... i remembered some months ago, i told my mum i will be coming home late and forgotten to bring my key ... MY Mum just said this to me "Okay... the door is not locked!". Wow! Those words touched my heart immediately to know that i am welcomed home. Don't we all like to hear someone say to us, "Son/Daughter/Friend... you are welcomed! The door is unlocked when you come back!"

My friends... thats how our Heavenly Father treats us. He tells us that when we come to His house.. the door is unlocked... it is not shut.... in fact He will wait there for us to welcome us when we returned.

In Luke 15:13- 31, the Bible tells a sotry about the parable of the Lost son who ran away from his father and spent all his father's money on wild living. Finally, broke and penniless, this son decided to go home to be a servant to his father.

But the Father was waiting for him, scanning the horizon everyday for his return. When the Father sees his soon coming back from a distant, the Father ran to him and put on him fine clothes and sandals and a signet ring on his finger to signify that this child is still his beloved son.

Beloved... you may not be like this son who has fallen away... but you feel far from God. Perhaps your work or studies has given you so much pressure that God seems light years away from you.

Or you felt you have failed to keep your promises to God and now are feeling ashamed to face God.

Beloved... our heavenly father does not see you that way. Like the Prodigal son in the story, our heavenly father eagerly waits for you.... longing for your return.

He is saying to you "When you come home my son, you will see that the door is unlocked."

So draw near to Him today and let Him restore you. Let all arguments cease and all apologies cease for a moment. Let the heavenly Father clothe you once again with His provision and hear HIm say to you ,"My SON/Daughter.. Let's celebrate together !! "

God Bless!
