Revelation 3:20 reads, “Look!

July 21, 2023

Revelation 3:20 reads, “Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends.” I love this scripture. It is saying to us that we must open the door for Jesus to come in to our home. We must reach out to the LORD God Almighty and then He will enter into our hearts. The LORD waits patiently for us to develop a relationship with Him. God does not force us to come to Him; we do it freely with no strings attached. As we develop our relationship with God, we start looking at life differently and most importantly ourselves in a new way. We begin to develop God-esteem; we begin to see ourselves through God’s eyes. We begin to see how much He loves us unconditionally and how He forgives us, no questions asked. As this occurs, we start to feel good about ourselves. We begin to share our love of God and how we have learned to love our “self” with others. So if this is all true, why don’t we want to spend more time alone with God? It is something to think about. God Bless. Amen.
