Come On In



  French doors, sliding doors, rotating doors, wooden doors, day in and day out we all go through them.  And unless they are locked, we don't really give them much thought.  There is a set of doors, however, that can change our lives forever.  The door to God's infinite mercy.  Not only is this door unlocked, but it has been thrown open so everyone can easily enter.  God has a special invitation for each of us.  He is asking us to draw close to Him, so that He may heal and forgive us, and lavish us with graces.
  God has been calling your name.  Have you heard Him?  He is waiting for you to come home.  "Now is the time."  Do not let this invitation lie unopened .  It requires a response. Can you see God standing there waiting for you to take a step forward?  If not, then you need to open one more door first.  You need to open the door to your heart.  Trust that God loves you.  With great trust take your open heart to God and allow Him to hold it in His hands. Feel the Presence of God, His Very Spirit, enter the door of your heart and fill you with His loving mercy.  Remain open and vulnerable while God transforms you.  He has great plans for you and for the whole world.  A plan that hinges on an open door invitation to you.
