“I Stand at the Door and Knock”

Rev 3: 20 “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.” NIV

This scripture is often used when witnessing, usually as one of the final texts before asking somebody to receive Christ as their Lord and Savior. Today I want to take this a step further.
I ask that you meditate on this scripture and ask yourself where you are in your relationship with Christ. Do you just hear him knocking and have your ear pressed up against the door listening, wondering if you should open it? Are you afraid to open it because you fear you are not ready or aren’t good enough to face your savior? Have you at one time opened the door gladly and embraced him on the threshold but yet are afraid to let him all the way into your house?
If you are a believer and have been for sometime, maybe, just maybe, you have only embraced HIM, or, just let him within the threshold but you are still holding back from letting him all the way in. Be rest assured he knows everything about you and saved you anyway so why are you holding back?
Meditate on these things and pray that the Holy Spirit gives you clarity. Be still, listen and grow.

Until the next time, may the LORD bless us and keep us, in Jesus name I pray.
