OPEN DOORS

Lord

I am waiting on the

Season of

The Open Door.

As I wait

I cast my cares upon you

Knowing that you care for me

My ears are open

Straining to hear your “YES”

Knowing that it is coming

For I know—and believe--that

You have a good plan for me

Not to harm me

But to give me a future

And a hope.

So here I am

Searching

Knocking

Asking

Living in great expectation

of your good gift

for me.

I live in trust

I walk by faith

And it is

ENOUGH…



This spoken WORD was inspired by the following scripture from the Holy Bible.


Luke 11:5-13 (NRSV)

Ask, and it will be given

And he said to them, "Suppose one of you has a friend, and you go to him at midnight and say to him, 'Friend, lend me three loaves of bread; for a friend of mine has arrived, and I have nothing to set before him.' And he answers from within, 'Do not bother me; the door has already been locked, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot get up and give you anything.' I tell you, even though he will not get up and give him anything because he is his friend, at least because of his persistence he will get up and give him whatever he needs.

"So I say to you, Ask, and it will be given you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you. For everyone who asks receives, and everyone who searches finds, and for everyone who knocks, the door will be opened. Is there anyone among you who, if your child asks for a fish, will give a snake instead of a fish? Or if the child asks for an egg, will give a scorpion? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!"
