"I correct and discipline everyone I love. So be diligent and turn from your indifference. “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. Those who are victorious will sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat with my Father on his throne.
“Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit and understand what he is saying to the churches.”
Revelation 3:19-22

Here is Jesus, holding a light in the darkness and radiating with it himself. Here is a door, a door which rots away, weeds overgrown around and under its old and tired frame. Here is Jesus - Jesus Himself, calling upon us and asking for us to let Him in. Not for His sake, but for ours. Take note that the door has no handle, and truly must be opened from the inside.

He is so prepared to give us freedom, and we are often so unwilling to take it. We cling to ourselves, unwilling to give in. It really is time to realize that the less of "us" there is, the better. We need to open the door with gusto, and grab hold of Him and the light which he exudes.
