"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 that person, and they with me." Revelation
3:20
There is a song out by JJ
Heller titled "What Love Really Means" There is a part in the song
that really speaks volumes in our relationship with God, here are the
lyrics..... "He's waiting to die as he sits all alone he's a man in a cell
who regrets what he's done he utters a cry from the depths of his
soul "Oh Lord, forgive me, I want to go home". Then he
heard a voice somewhere deep inside and it said, "I know you've
murdered and I know you've lied and I have watched you suffer all of your life
and now that you'll listen I'll, I'll tell you that I will love you for
you not for what you have done or what you will become..."
This is what really tugs at
my heart, God says to this person in the song, "and now that you'll listen
I'll, I'll tell you that I will love you for you not for what you have
done or what you will become..." How many times have you shut God out? How
many times has God been willing to come into your life, your heart and fill you
with peace and joy? But we don't listen to God...for a number of reasons, we
don't trust Him? We want to do things our way? We are angry at Him because of
something that has gone wrong in our life? We have a misunderstand what it all
means. We simply don't believe in His power, love, mercy, grace and
forgiveness? The amazing character of God is He always loves you and as soon as
you say the word, He will enter into your heart.
Today's verse demonstrates
that God is ready and willing to enter in your heart anytime you invite Him in.
This is a two way relationship and you have to be willing to invite Him, listen
to God, hear His voice and receive the gifts He wants to give to you. It breaks
my heart that people wander through life with a heavy heart and some, when they
come to the end of their ropes they cry out to God, why not cry out to Jesus
before you get to a point of feeling hopeless & despair? Perk up your heart
and listen to how God is trying to reach you!
God wants a personal
relationship with you, He sent His son, Jesus Christ to die on the cross for
our sins (John 3:16) which broke the veil (Matthew 27:51 & Ephesians 2:14)
and allows us to have a personal relationship with Jesus.
Let's
Reflect: I
encourage you today, right now, that if you have never accepted Jesus Christ as
your Savior, please pray this verse...Romans 10:9 "If you
declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your
heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."
PRAYER: Dear Lord Jesus, thank you
for being my Savior. I invite you into my heart and I pray that you would give
me a heart to hear when God speaks to me. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen."
Be Blessed…Be Bold in the
name of Jesus!
