Revelation 3:20 KJV — "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me".
As I look back on my life, I see now that Jesus was ALWAYS on the other side of that door knocking. He never stopped, never gave up. I was too filled with pride and ignorance, and self rightousness to answer. Opening that door was the best thing I ever did !!!
The Isralites wandered through the wilderness for 40 years. A direct route from where they started to where they crossed into the promised land was about 250 miles. Avereging approxamately 6 miles a year. Why so slow? Because, like me, they spent most of thier time walking in circles. Thats what happens when we think our plan is better than Gods plan!!
When you hear Him knocking,,open the darn door!!! The sooner, the better..
