Time with God - July 5, 2012

 

Revelation 3:19-20

Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline; therefore be zealous and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me.

When you hear Jesus knocking, open the door!

Someone has said, “To pray is nothing more involved than to open the door.” I love that! We usually think of prayer as us knocking on God’s door. But today Jesus wants you to hear His knocking. He’s the one initiating a better relationship!

If your love for God has grown cold and God’s been knocking on your life, getting your attention, then today is the day for you to open that door. Invite God into every room of your life. Not just the religious part where you go to church, but every room: the kitchen, the bedroom, the TV room, the computer room, the hidden closets.

If you want to renew your passion and love for God then you must come all the way back to Him. Let Him into every part of your life. Make Him the center!

“Knock knock.” “Who’s there?” “It’s Jesus. I want to help you get out of your lukewarm Christianity and back into a passionate relationship with me, where I am your life! But first you have to open the door and invite me back into that place in your heart.” “Please, Jesus, come in.”
