There is a famous passage of Scripture which many people have heard in the context of an invitation to know Christ as Savior. “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in…” (Rev 3:20). He does not force himself upon us. He knocks, and waits for us to ask him in. There is an initial step, the first step of this which we call salvation. We hear Christ knocking and we open our hearts to him as Savior. It is the first turning. But the principle of this “knocking and waiting for permission to come in” remains true well into our Christian life.
You see, we all pretty much handle our brokenness in the same way – we mishandle it. It hurts too much to go there. So we shut the door to that room in our heart and we throw away the key, but that is not going to heal us.
SO WHAT?
Why carry your hurts any longer? Why spend one more day angry or upset with people you love?
LET IT GO
LET HIM IN
Today is your opportunity to release your hurt and anger to God. Let Him take it away and as you let it go, God is going to let His peace, love and joy fall down on you. Do it today! Release your hurts to God and watch what happens.
