KNOCK, KNOCK!

Knock knock, who's there? OPEN UP! Open up who? YOU. 

Sound confusing? To some it may and to others it might make you laugh. Today I was reading an email from someone very dear to me and it occurred to me that sometimes I am so closed-minded, especially when it comes to something I want nothing to do with. Yet whatever I shut the door on, keeps knocking and saying "let me in!" It can be a thought, something you know you need to do,  something or someone you've been putting on the back burner, something you said or did or did not do, something someone else said or did! It is a constant door bell ringing that wants to be invited into your life. 

Most times it is not worth having those thoughts be a guest, but other times you need to fling the door wide open & say come in! You see, the things that we run from the most, are the things that will propel us unto a higher level of understanding and peace. Until we stop running we will be tied to things, thoughts or people that keep knocking and knocking. 

There is a reason things happen the way they do in your life. There is a reason people say certain things to you and there is a reason you read a book, devotional & scripture. Nothing throughout your day is pure coincidence. Open your eyes and ears wide and pay attention to what is going on. What is knocking at your door? What has been knocking at your door? 

Many people live day to day with that uninvited guest at their door, because they are afraid of what will happen when they say "come in." Quite frankly, I am afraid of what will not happen if I never let my "guests" in! I am so certain that when you face your fears and allow yourself to do what you never thought you would, God can then fully work! And when we LET God work, amazing things happen. 

Today I invite you to take 2 baby steps: 1-Identify what has been knocking at your door? Healing, peace, forgiveness, love... 2-Allow yourself to do one small thing to be able to let that "guest" into your life. Maybe read a devotional about that subject, talk to a friend about it, write a letter to yourself, etc. 

KNOCK, KNOCK! Are you willing to ask, WHO'S THERE?
