THE FRONT DOOR of our house is blue  there are approximately seventeen more types of doors inside the house.

Edgar Allan Poe's poem, "The Raven," said, "Who's that tap, tap, tapping at my chamber door?" We've all answered a knocking, tapping, or ringing doorbell. It might be: Girl Scout cookie time, trick-or-treaters, campaigners, solicitors, the utility company, the cable man, UPS or mail  carrier, a neighbor, the florist, or the Avon representative.

Jesus is knocking at the "door of your heart." He never forces Himself into our lives. He waits for our need to cause us to open the door. Today, right now, let us open the door and follow His will for us today.
