There are times when my door is only a facade. The ruins are visible but I am long gone down other paths. I deceive myself into thinking he will be fooled by the exterior. Woe is me! I want more than that in our relationship. When he comes knocking I want to be in my Sunday best, the table set, and something warm on the stove.
Revelations 3:20
"Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any woman hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to her, and will sup with her, and she with me."
I write on Fridays with a large group who inspire me. Only five minutes and without much thought to perfection. I write, prompted by one word that sends my thoughts to the keyboard and hopefully make sense.
Love your post. I think He doesn't see exteriors: isn't that beautiful?! Imagine just being able to see straight to someone's heart! The world would be a much simpler place to navigate! I didn't know the verse you mention (Revelations 3: 20); it's so beautiful! The last photo is achingly beautiful and makes me so curious (it's the writer in me): whose home/business was it? What happened to it? Where are the owners now? And then I'm imaging all the tales of all the people who visited the business....how delightful!
