With all your science - can you tell how it is, and whence it is, that light comes into the soul? ~Henry David Thoreau
Sometimes I like to imagine the life behind the window......who it is that lives there, what it is they do. I imagine all kinds of scenes. I see someone rising early before the world awakes, moving soundlessly on stockinged feet to start the coffee or tea. Arising to enjoy some solace, maybe praying, maybe writing in a journal and sitting behind this window watching passersby like me walk by.
Or maybe they are old and alone, hoping for a knock on the door. A visitor to swap stories with.
Maybe they wonder about me, the walker.......
God knows all of our stories, everything behind our windows.
He wants to open the window of your soul and let some light in. He wants to open the windows of Heaven and fill your heart to overflowing.
Jesus is that visitor who wants to come in and hear your story. He is knocking, oh so softly.
If you open the door, I promise you will never be the same......
"Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends." Revelation 3:20
Very good thoughts and the picture of the window invites more!
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your words about Jesus wanting to "come in and hear our story." So true... One of the most amazing parts about that Truth is this: He already knows our story (better than we do!) but He still wants to sit with us and hear our every word.
