The Gates of Zion

Just some reflections on my reading:
Psalm 87

The psalm is about Zion, where the Lord dwells, and how great it is. But in verse 2 it says that God loves the gates of Zion more than anywhere else in Israel. I thought, "why is that?" Then it occurred to me that there was meaning behind the gates/entryway. So the gates are the entrance to the city of God, where He dwells, where is presence is made known, etc. How glorious is it when someone comes to know Christ, when they come into the presence of God and begin a relationship with Him?! No wonder why God loves the gates! Its where He sees His people come to Him and enter his kingdom. How awesome it is to see a person come to God?! I think it would be so awesome to see that figurative scene of people entering God's dwelling and to share in God's delight at the sight of those coming to Him! What a sight to behold! I totally feel a sense of urgency to continue to evangelize to those who havent come to Christ yet in order to experience the joy that comes from God alone!
