The Narrow Door

I visited the new place that the church proposed to move.
Although it was an old school, it was really spacious. It has a big field, I believe our children will like it.

But, what caught my eyes was the main entrance, the door was rather narrow. This brought me back to the Lord's words:-

"Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to."...... Luke 13:24

I think God already knew what is life on earth, what I am expected to go through. With on going struggles in all aspects - relationships, finances, career, temptations, trials... etc etc, I am so easily side track, discouraged and despair. To enter into His Kingdom, indeed, every effort is required to battle on.

And with His encouragements and His love written all over the Holy Bible, am I still half-cooked, lukewarm with Him? How much longing is there, to come to His sanctuary, to worship and praise him? Do I feel excited over events to do with our Lord or with the church? Is my heart getting cold for Him? I asked myself his morning......

Dear Lord,
Thank you for this moment, that I am able to search my heart, thank God, my heart is still beating. Lord, life is tough, but I want to hang on. I want to enter into Your Kingdom. Yes, the door is a narrow one, help me Lord, to put every effort - make each one to trust and believe You like little children. Help my eyes, ears and heart to be receptive in all Your works and words... Lord,let me draw Your strength to keep the fire going, like a wick burning on candle and I desire to be a everlasting candle for YOU..............Amen
