Doors

Wednesday June 11th, Romans 4: 17 We call Abraham "father" not because he got God's attention by living like a saint, but because God made something out of Abraham when he was a nobody. Isn't that what we've always read in Scripture, God saying to Abraham, "I set you up as father of many peoples"? Abram was called by God not because he was so good, but because he was so open. Open to God, open to God’s calling, open to adventure, open to hope, open to possibilities. When we are open for business, God’s business, no telling what will come along. The trouble comes once we get open, then there is the tendency to close the door bit by bit until we have something we can manage. Our control issues cloud our calling issues. Go, open the door to God’s church and let in the children of God they are waiting out there for a church that love them.
