What if I never answered the KNOCK on the door of my heart?
What if I put up a "DO NOT ENTER" sign?
Oh it breaks my heart to even think about it.
When GOD comes calling HE sends HIS SON to do the knocking
and you think you may be able to ignore HIM,
but oh HE won't stop knocking until you let HIM in.
JESUS never KNOCKS where HE doesn't want to go.
If GOD purposely created you & me & everyone else
don't you see how simple this all is~
that HE wants you & me & everyone else.
And I wonder at times
how HE can be so personal that HE CHOSE me to COME to HIM.
Me, the me that I know way too well,
but HE knows me more
and still KNOCKS.
HE wants you & everyone else
just as you are and not until you clean up your act because we need
JESUS to clean up our act.
Picture this.
You just got home. You were on a walk and then caught in a rain storm. You were running to get home quickly and you fall into a huge mud puddle. Now you are covered in mud. You get up and continue to run, and then your coat gets caught on a thorny branch and your coat becomes all tattered as you pull yourself free.
You are at the end of yourself. You finally make it home.
You drop on your floor. You look up and your house is a mess. And then you hear it.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK.
Now the last thing you want to do is answer the door.
You are covered in mud and dressed in RAGS.
So you peek through the peep hole.
And there HE is~
JESUS.
All dressed in pure white and wearing a huge smile.
Now there is no way you are presentable for JESUS.
Do you have time to take a shower and put on your Sunday best?
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK.
HE can't see you like this because you don't even want to look at yourself.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK.
But then you remember that HE does SEE you.
HE knows exactly the tattered muddy condition you are in
and JESUS still CHOSE to KNOCK on your door.
JESUS KNOCKS to clean up our mess.
So do you answer HIS KNOCK
as you wonder why you and
why your door?
And HE says
"Why not you?"
So you open the door
and you immediately forget what you look like
as you look into HIS eyes
and you become
cleaner than clean
and nothing else matters
because
HE sees the REAL you
and HE wants you anyway.
And you want HIM
because you now know how much
HE was who you always needed
as
HE clothes you with
HIS FORGIVENESS
&
FAVOR
that RELEASES you
from your muddy mess
that sets you
FREE
to
LIVE UNLEASHED.
Because the moment
you answered HIS knock
you realize you can't do
REAL LIFE without HIM
for HE is yours and your are HIS
and now LIFE becomes brighter
as you now
LIVE for HIM
who chose to KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK on your door
and now you live to be forever
"FAITHFUL"
to the one who is forever
"FAITHFUL" (listen to the song below)
