OPENING THE DOOR<br />
“Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens<br />
the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with me.” (Rev 3:<br />
20)<br />
So here’s another mind-blowing passage of the Book of Revelation,<br />
which I really do not read often enough. I am more aware of the passage<br />
in the Gospel of Matthew (and Luke), in which the Lord tells me: “Ask<br />
and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door<br />
will be opened to you” (Mt 7: 7, cf. Lk 11:9). But here in Revelation He<br />
reminds me that, whether or not I am asking, seeking, and knocking, He<br />
is always at my door, knocking and calling me to open up and let Him in.<br />
He is there, all-inclusively, for “anyone” who hears His voice. He is always<br />
willing to do that, and is doing that, even when we don’t.<br />
Let me hear His voice today, letting Him in and letting go of self-centered<br />
fear and self-reliance. Let me dine with Him, and He with me, at the table<br />
of His word, which nurtures me throughout my day.<br />
