Written by Paul Bane and Matt Litton, contemporary authors. This is an excerpt from their book “In the Presence of Jesus.”
There is something invasive about even a loved one coming into the intimacy of your home. It can be extremely stressful to try to get your house perfect before someone visits. But consider the profound revelation that the God of the universe did not wait for you to come to Him, but He patiently waits outside your door. The truth is that Jesus longs to be invited into every moment of your life, whether you are experiencing stress, worry, grief, or joy. He wants to bring His presence and unconditional love to every aspect of your existence. As you go through the busyness of this day, quiet yourself to listen for Jesus’ gentle knock. Consider what anxiety, need, relationship, and moment He is patiently waiting for you to release to Him. What areas of your life are you trying to keep hidden from Christ?
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. [Revelation 3:20]
