Let Him In
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. (Revelation 3:20-22)
Thought For Today:
There comes a time in everyone's life when we must open our hearts to God for renewal. Why does Jesus want to come in? Well, first of all, He knows what we are going through or facing in our lives. And as His people, He wants to help us. But if we are too stubborn and refuse to let Him in, it is not His fault if we suffer. When He stood in the synagogue and read from Isaiah chapter 61, He told the people that the scripture was fulfilled in their hearing. He wanted them to know that right then and there, what the scripture had foretold they could now receive. But they slammed the door in His face and ran Him out of town. Have you done the same? If Jesus comes to your door, He wants to visit with you. You never know what you may learn from Him. Why not let Him in and see what He will reveal to you about yourself as He did with the woman at the well (John 4).
