Do you hear that?


Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.

Revelation 3:20

Jesus is knocking on the door of our hearts every time we sense we should turn to Him. Jesus wants to have fellowship with us, and he wants us to open up to Him. He is patient and persistent in trying to get through to us - not breaking and entering, but simply knocking. He allows us to decide whether or not to open our lives to Him. Do you intentionally keep his life-changing presence and power on the other side of the door? The pleasures of this world - money, security, material possessions - can be dangerous, because their temporary satisfaction makes us indifferent to God's offer of lasting satisfaction. If you find yourself feeling indifferent to church, to God, or to the Bible, you have begun to shut God out of your life. Leave the door of your heart constantly open to God, and you won't need to worry about hearing His knock. Letting Him in is your only hope for lasting fulfillment.

God Bless you,

J.H.
