Jesus stands at the door waiting for it to open,(Rev 3:20-21 KJV) and although He can open it Himself very easily…He doesn’t because His love is easy and paitent. He won’t push us into a relationship with Him, neither will He pester us until we do so. He will try to get our attention through a variety of ways which include trials, pain, conviction and His word. He waits our response and He stands ever present with unconditional love. He waits for us to call upon Him, to ask Him into our lives. Our Sovereign Lord will do everything for His children, there is no end to what He’d do…but we have to invite Him in first.
Whoever hears Him “knocking” and opens the door…He shall come into sup with you and you will sup with Him. His sheep will recognize His voice and ask Him into our lives…thereby the indwelling Holy Spirit will show us how to be transformed into His image. We can partake of Christ’s peace and find joy in all that we do, when we open that door.
Many people have barriers up and it is to those people He waits as He knocks, waiting like a gentle lamb, approaching and hoping for a response so He can be present in their life. He knocks on our hearts ever so sweetly, ever so lovingly.
He will show us the way, He will guide us, teach us, and provide the wisdom needed to act according to His ways…and create the outcome of which is best for those we interact with. Surely it is His Spirit that will enable and show us, we’re merely His vessels that will follow and do His will while giving Him all the glory always and forever…Amen and Amen.
20 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. (Rev 3:20)
21 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. (Rev 3:21)
