One door and only one and yet it's sides are two. Inside and outside and which side are you? God is standing on the outside of the door and he is knocking. The door is your heart. He will not force you to open the door, but he does ask that you do. Has there been times in your life that you just wanted the Lord in someone's life so badly. We all want our freedom for ourselves and don't want anyone bardging in but there are times that we see the Lord is letting others live their lives in such an aweful way that we almost want to say, "Lord, why don't you just walk into their lives and take over? Make them turn around from what they are doing. Make them serve you. Do you know of any instance where the Lord demanded that you serve him? No, it just doesn't happen.
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock:
if any man hear my voice,
and open the door,
I will come in to him,
and will sup with him,
and he with me.
Revelation 3:20
You may have done some really bad things in your life and think that the Lord will not want to enter in. Jesus said, "My grace is suffienct for thee". Grace is receiving something that I don't deserve. In the story of the prodigal son, we see that the son was mean to his father. We see the prodigal son took his inheritance and spent it on parties and woman and all sorts of ungodly things. When the prodical son came home his father ran out to the road and gave him a big hug. It seemed as if the father was watching down the road for his son. When Jesus knocked on the door, the only thing the prodical son had to do was open the door. The father welcomed him back and so did the Lord.
All you need to do is to open the door and let the saviour in.
