“Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.  And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains.   Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should.”  –Paul, Colossians 4:2-4   

My Grandprincess loves doors.  She loves to pull and push doors.  She loves to knock on them.  She loves to play peek-a-boo behind them.  She loves to stand on her tippy toes and stretch her tiny fingers toward the doorknob, just out of reach.  Until last week.

Last week she discovered the miniature door that stands sentinel to our closet under the stairs.  Oh, how her face lit up with the wonder of something touchable!  Emma had found a door, just her size.

Something clicked inside of me at her discovery.  Hadn’t I been knocking on doors that just wouldn’t open for me?  Hadn’t I worried that God didn’t know the one that was right for me? 

God is the craftsman who knows which door is just my size.  He won’t push me through one that is too small or one that is gigantic.

Paul talks in First Corinthians about the gift distribution system.  The Lord equipped each of us in a way to contribute to all and to bring glory to God.  There’s room for what each one has to offer.

What about you?  Have you been knocking on doors too?
