on anything you have to do or perform for or strive for — the way into the story is gazing into the infinite love of God .
The way into this story is looking into the tender face of the One who offers you His hand and says , “ I am the door ” and then opens wide His life to give you His heart and be the way into the Kingdom of God and living fully alive .
