[The Glory Unveiled]
Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.[ Revelation 3:20 NIV ]
Our hearts are doors to our souls. At every door, Jesus stands and knocks. He knocks so that He may enter and reveal great and wondrous things we do not yet know, things only His presence can unveil. The striking thing, however, is that Jesus is not only kept outside the hearts of unbelievers; He is often shut out of the hearts of believers as well. Many confess Him as Lord—Owner, Master—yet quietly send Him out of the center of their lives. They claim His name, but rule their own hearts. They speak of surrender, yet sit on the throne themselves. To such hearts, Jesus still knocks. Patiently. Waiting to be admitted again. And the tragedy is that: we lock Jesus outside the door of our hearts and still have the audacity to ask Him to act on our behalf. We want His power without His rule, His blessings without His authority, His help without His lordship. So let us ask ourselves honestly: Is Jesus standing at the door of your heart, knocking and waiting for your invitation? Have you told Him, politely but firmly, that now is not a good time? Have you refused to let Him reign as King over your heart, your choices, your relationships, your ambitions? Is there something you are still holding back from Him? That very thing you withhold is what limits His influence and power in your life. Let Jesus be Lord—not only at the moment of salvation, but every day that follows. Open the door fully. Step off the throne. Let the rightful King reign in your heart and in all your affairs.
Prayer_Bead: Father and Saviour, thank you for saving me through the power of your Son. Come into my heart and reign as Lord and King.
