The Eastern Gate

S ~ And the Lord said to me, “This gate must remain closed; it will never again be opened. No one will ever open it and pass through, for the Lord, the God of Israel, has entered here. Therefore, it must always remain shut. Ezekiel 44:2

O ~ There will be a day when the Lord opens the gate and enters the city of Jerusalem. The gate is shut, but there will come a day.

A ~ Oh the Eastern Gate - the song that bombed at my mom's funeral, yet the truth still remains. Will it be the old city, or the new one? I'm not sure of any of that - most likely the old, that will then be replaced. But one thing is for sure, I need to be ready to meet you at the Eastern Gate!

P ~ Lord, until that day, I open wide the gates of my heart and life to welcome you in - giving you all the glory and honour.  Lift up the gates and open wide the doors - that the King of Glory may come in!  Fill my life. Every part.
