Revelation 3: 20 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.
Jesus, through an angel who carried the message to John in a vision, speaks to the 7 churches. These words are for the church in Lacodicea. They are lukewarm. Jesus is about done with them. They think they have it all and don't need anything. Jesus says they don't have true riches, they are shameful, and they aren't seeing things clearly.
I wasn't pleased to see that I will be reading Revelation. I don't like it, because it's scary and hard to understand. This verse was just what I need to read though. I have been thinking about my dulled senses. I guess it's part of the grief. It has made me lukewarm in matters of the heart. I see that the answer is in listening for Jesus's knock.
Prayer: I want to let You in, Lord. I know my life is better when I am in relationship with You. I don't want to be lukewarm in my faith nor in my love for those closest to me. Guide me, even when I shy away from Your plans for me.
Amen
