Then he brought me back

to the outer gate of the sanctuary,

which faces east;

and it was shut.

                  Ezekiel 44. 1

(Closed doors are never random

       but designed intricately by God,

                     always for good reason.

It is not a closed door at all,

    but a deeper one beckoning

for His infinite purposes

           and profound direction.

It may be about

    bringing His light and grace 

                     to a new place).
