I commented to my husband how glad I was that we had found our little patio table, so we could take in days like this. Yes, it was a good investment. But I also thought about all the other beautiful days that had come and gone since our original purchase. How many had I missed? I could have enjoyed so many more, if I had just walked outside and sat down.
So it is with God’s presence. How beautiful and wonderful it is, and yet how often do we go there? How many opportunities do we miss with our Savior, who can bring us such joy and peace? He stands at the door of our hearts, knocking.
Lord, may I have ears to hear your invitation to spend time in the sunshine of your Spirit today.
“Look! I have been standing at the door, and I am constantly knocking. If anyone hears me calling him and opens the door, I will come in and fellowship with him and he with me.” –Revelation 3:20
