Somebody's Knocking at Your Door

The latch on the door is on the inside.

~~Catherine Marshall

This morning’s prayer and meditation for Sally’s healing comes from Take Heart, Oh God: Riches from the Greatest Women Writers of All Time.

It’s an undeniable truth—the doors of our heart can only be opened by us. Our friends can’t open them. Our pastor cannot. And Jesus chooses not to force them open, either. Instead, he waits patiently—and knocks. We may have opened the salvation door to Christ, but what about the door that holds back our fears? Or the door that closes off our deepest hurts? Catherine Marshall compels us to open those doors too. She assures us that Jesus is a trusted houseguest.

If you want peace—unlatch the door.

If you want joy—unlatch the door.

If you want blessings—unlatch the door.

If you want fulfillment in your life beyond what you can imagine—unlatch the door.

Jesus wants to come in and be a part of your whole life. But only you can unlatch the door.

Prayer for Meditation

Heavenly houseguest, you are welcome in all the rooms of my heart.

Scripture for Meditation

Look! Here I stand at the door and knock. If you hear me calling and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal as friends. Revelations 3:20
