Good Morning!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Behold, I stand at the door [of the church] and continually knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him (restore him), and he with Me.  -Revelation 3:20<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think this imagery is so good. All we have to do is open the door and let Him in. A lot of us have that one room or area of our house that we would rather not want anybody to go into, either it\u2019s a mess that you don\u2019t want people to see or you have items in there you don\u2019t want anybody to mess with. We sometimes treat Jesus the way we may when guests come over to our house where we may let Him in the front door but don\u2019t let Him fully into our mess or our treasure for fear that He may change it, not knowing that Him changing it will be far better than anything we could have imagined with it. Let us allow Him to come in and fully take over, allow Him to come in and share a meal and like the verse states above, to restore us. If we only let Jesus into our lives part way, we shouldn\u2019t then get frustrated when He is not able to completely transform our lives. Transformation happens when we invite Him in fully and wholly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJesus is knocking at your door. Take hold of the better life by letting Him into your life. Make Him the boss of your life. It\u2019ll change everything.\u201d  -Rick Warren<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn every experience of life, the Lord is standing at the door and knocking and saying \u201cWill you trust Me in this?\u201d\u201d  -Elisabeth Elliot<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dad Joke of the Day:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wouldn\u2019t say I never exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Occasionally, my nose runs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
