Standing at the gate
It’s a sad thing to stand at the gate of where home used to be and now it is not. You stand like a stranger, a guest without a welcome, at a gate that once swung open to your touch.
I know, because I have stood there.
Like passing generations, you repeat sadly, ‘I am a passing guest, as all my forefathers were’. It is a collective admission of people who have no right to call this world ‘home’.
“God has already prepared a place for you where the gate is always open.
So invite
everyone you meet to come with you.
and let Him make
His home
your own.”

You
have no right to open it now, no right to smile and step inside and say ‘I’m
home.’ You stand outside; the warmth and the welcome that was once yours,
by right, is now locked.
