"The Gates of Hell are locked from the inside..."
-C.S. Lewis

Perhaps another way to think about that statement is that conversation between the ghost of Jacob Marley and Ebenezer Scrooge... paraphrased..."You have labored on it [your chain] these past seven years. It is a ponderous chain..."

Ebenezer couldn't "see" his chain because it was a spiritual reality not evident in the physical world... In the same way, those we come into contact with are "inmates of Hell." They're dead and they don't know it... unless someone makes them aware of it. So, this morning I have been thinking about how I can try to "wake the dead."

Whose [heart's] door should I be knocking on today?

Just a thought for today that I wanted to share. I trust that you all are doing well.
