Waiting for You

“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)
Scripture Focus: Revelation 3:14-22

God has every right to enter our lives. After all, He created us for Himself. In making us in His own image, He gave us an immense capacity to know Him and find our delight in communicating with Him.

But we were born into the human race which is estranged from God. Our wrongdoings have built a barrier that separates us from the One who made us for Himself. God’s immense love caused Him to provide the way for us to be reconciled to Him. And at what a great price! His own Son gave His life for us so that we might become His children.

We belong to God both by His act of creating us and by His act in purchasing our redemption with Jesus’ blood. Still, He does not force His way into our lives. He waits for us to invite Him in.

According to our verse for today, Jesus Christ is in one of two places in your life. He is either standing at the door and knocking, or, in response to your opening the door, He has entered your life and you are enjoying fellowship with Him.

Insight: Jesus Christ has made His choice: He desires close fellowship with you. What is your choice?
