He stands by the door

An interesting prose i read:

"I stand by the door. I neither go too far in, nor stay too far out. The door is the most important door in the world- It is the door through which men walk when they find God. There's no use my going way inside, and staying there, When so many are still outside and they, as much as I, crave to know where the door is. And all that so many ever find is only the wall where a door ought to be. They creep along the wall like blind men, with outstretched, groping hands. Feeling for a door, knowing there must be a door, yet they never find it… So I stand by the door. The most tremendous thing in the world is for men to find that door-the door to God."
- Sam Shoemaker

I am the door; if any one enters by me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. —John 10:9

What a great writing that was! I felt it echoed the heart of Jesus Christ. I wanna have the same heart as well, a heart that desires for souls to be saved.. a heart that longs after God, a heart for men to find that door-the door to God.
