In a town in northern Scotland some boys were in the habit of meeting together for prayer. One day a little girl named jane passed by and heard them sing. She stopped to listen, and thinking it was just an ordinary prayer meeting, decided to join them. She pulled the latch but it would not open; it was locked inside. She became very uneasy, as she thought,
“What if this were the door of heaven, and I outside?”
She went home, but could not sleep. Day after day she became more troubled at the thought of being shut out of heaven.
She went from one prayer meeting to another, still finding no rest. At last, one day reading in John’s Gospel, chapter 10, she came to the words, “I am the door.” V. 9.
She paused, and read the verse again and again. Here was the very door she was looking for! And wide open too. She entered in and found peace.
The Lord Jesus says: “I am the door: by Me if any man enter in he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.” John 10:9
Room, room, still room;
Oh, enter, enter now!
