These
are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God's
creation. "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 him, and he with me.

3:14 and 20

THOUGHTS ABOUT
TODAY'S VERSE
It
has always fascinated me that this verse has often been cited by those calling
others to conversion when clearly in its context it's written to lukewarm
Christians needing to rekindle their love relationship to the Lord. As
believers, we need to ask the Lord Jesus into our hearts, our home, and lives.
It's not that he's not there, it's just that he awaits our invitation -- he
will not barge in. He only inhabits hearts into which he has been invited!
MY PRAYER
Holy
Lord and Savior, I know you long to share your presence and fellowship with me.
I know you are nearby as I draw each breath. But I confess that I am often
unaware, and even sometimes unappreciative of your presence. I ask you this day
to come into my heart and fill my life with your presence and comfort and
power. I want my life to be lived for you and with you. Amen.
The Secret To Loving
Jesus Much
Therefore I say to you, her sins, which are many, are
forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves
little.
Luke 7:47
Remember
the story of the woman who washed Jesus’ feet with her tears, wiped them with
her hair and anointed them with fragrant oil? Jesus pointed out to the Pharisee
in whose house she did this that this woman loved Him much because she knew
that she was forgiven much.
In
actuality, none of us have been forgiven little. We have all been forgiven
much. As for this woman, she knew it. Do you?
Beloved,
if you think that you have been forgiven little, then you will love little. But
when you know the truth of how much you have been forgiven, you will love Jesus
much. Knowing how much you have been forgiven is the secret to loving Jesus! In
other words, you will only love Jesus much when you experience His lavish grace
and unmerited favor in forgiving you of all your sins—past, present and
future—by His one sacrifice at the cross.
So
don’t worry about loving Jesus. Just meditate on how totally and completely He
has forgiven you, and loving Him much will be your natural response!
