Will You Pass Through Or Pass On By

As you arrive, you are met with the wondrous beauty of this grand building. There is so much intrigue into it's existence. Although it is not "old" in years, the vintage beneath each brick and stone holds it's own story.


No matter where you look, there are varying paths that one can take. Your goal is the reach the majestic entrance, but there are so many things that catch your attention before you can ever gain access.


Do you walk the straight and narrow path or do you detour to enjoy the scenery along the way? It's just so alluring that you don't know what to do.



Finally...you reach the royal doors. You ponder for a moment as to what you might behold on the other side. Will it be just as beautiful beyond the doors as it is on the outside? Or will you find that time has left it's marks of wear and tear? Will everything you hope you might find be dashed away only to find emptiness and despair?



Do you dare open and see or do you wait? There may be treasures untold just waiting for you to reach out and take hold of. But do you dare...do you take that chance or do you let your possible blessing slip by due to fear of the unknown? Far too long you have stayed in your safe comfort zone, all the while missing out on life's great treasures that were meant for you. Regret fills your thought life as you recall the words and actions that you have allowed so many years to dictate who you are supposed to be, what your supposed to do and how you should do it. You know it was wrong, but you never knew how to get out of that cycle. The scars of life's wear and tear have kept you bound for so long. You have nothing else to loose but all to gain....so with a deep breath you toss yesterday aside and swing open the doors....



Walking through to the other side you see the true riches and blessings that GOD has just for you. HE has been waiting for such a long time for you to finally take that step of faith and pass through the doors of Satan's grip so that HE can show you just exactly what HE has for you.



Jeremiah 29:11-13 (CEV) "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart."
