opening doors

I went to open a toilet door the other day and paused, thinking is there any one in there, anyway, I decided to open the door slowly. No one there. it got me to thinking. Open doors slowly. I remember writing a post a while ago, about putting your lights on full beam and blinding people. I think this is the same analogy, if, and you all have, had a light turned on suddenly, maybe when you have been in bed, you shrink from the light, you pull the covers over your head, you hide from the light. If you are on the toilet and someone opens the door, you shout, stick out your legs, avoid. Sometimes the light needs to be brought to you slowly, you need time to pull up your trousers, get use to the light, accept what is happening, adjust your vision, and then you can see.

Its the same when letting people know about Jesus, you cannot thrust the light down their throats, or in their eyes. be patient, build relationships, let the light become apparent, show love,

be compassionate, non judgemental, understand, and the light will shine. The door will open
