THE UNLOCKED DOORA daughter left her mother’s house. Led astray by others, she had forsaken the guidance of her mother and her spiritual training.Diligently her mother prayed for the child. Her efforts bombarding the throne of grace were not futile. The child became burdened by her sin, and she returned home late one night.It was near midnight, and she was surprised to find the door unlocked. Her mother later explained to her why it was unlatched, “Never, my child, night or day, has that door been fastened since you left. I knew you would come back some day, and I was unwilling to keep you waiting for a single moment.”That illustrates how God leaves the door open for us so we can always return to Him. No matter how wayward we have become, His door is always open!
