The Personal God
“Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.” Revelation 3:20 (NIV)
Jesus is not a distant deity, He wants a personal relationship with you like a close friend or family member. He is not an untouchable, He is not too good to be close to you, in fact consider this: Jesus knows you’re a sinner and He is fully aware of your sins and yet He wants a relationship with you. He’s not going to badger you about changing, but as you sit with Him day by day, His grace will change you.
The Lord is not hiding from you or trying to avoid you. He is at your front door. So when Jesus knocks on your heart with conviction, let Him in and He will dine with you, He will sit with you, and He will listen to you and help with the burdens of your life.
Let’s pray today that we may not keep Jesus away but allow Him to come into our lives and be with us.
