For in seeking Him ,we are found, by knocking at the door it was opened for us.
Understanding 'Poetic License', do you know if the author was referring to some Bible verse in the excerpt? Assume so.
Posted here are 'some' verses that make me think the author had a Bible verse in mind when writing as the excerpt brought that to mind. And now it is interesting to see what the KJV version shows regarding 'knocking at door' and 'door' references.
Seems there is indication in these verses as to who gets in and who is turned away.
There are more verses with 'door' and verses with 'knock' or 'knocking' or 'knocked' are few if any more than here listed which seem likely to be considered.
