The Door Is Open

 

There is a song by the fusion jazz group Hiroshima.

The title of the song is The Door Is Open, from their Black and White album.

It has been a long time since I last took the time to listen to it.

And yet, when I did, I was reminded not only of how beautiful the music sounds, but also of its message.

The song speaks of finding somewhere to belong—of finding that someone who will be a guiding hand and give us love.

As I listened, I felt God speaking the lyrics to me—telling me that the door to His home is always open, that He is here to love me, to guide me, and to be the shoulder I cry on.

And I believe that with all my heart.

There’s a line in the song that says: So many times you feel the world has passed you by. Give life a chance. Give love another try.

To me, that means that even if I am upset with Him—because my prayers have not yet been answered or because of how my life has unfolded so far—no matter what, He will love me unconditionally. His door is always open, and all I have to do is walk in.

That is something I hope to always remember whenever things go wrong in my life: that God’s door is always open to me, and His love is always waiting.

It took this wonderful song to remind me of that. And I always smile when God finds ways to remind me—when He whispers that His door is open.
