Day 3 - Jesus is Knocking [S01-E3]

In this guided devotional from 21 Days of Prayer & Meditation, Anthony Skinner leads you through a reflection on Revelation 3:20, where Jesus stands at the door and knocks. This Christian meditation invites you to imagine Christ's personal invitation to commune with you. no conditions, no shame, just His desire to be present in your life. Through scripture, prayer, and stillness, you'll discover how to open the door of your heart, welcome His presence, and experience the joy of intimacy with God. SCRIPTURE Rev 3:20 Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me. DEVOTIONAL One of the most important things we need to remember as we engage in these 21 days is how the Lord desires to commune with us! He wants to come in.  He wants to be with you.  He is talking.  He is present.  He is waiting.  And He can come closer. He doesn't put conditions on what's behind the door.  He simply wants to come in and be with you. God already loves you, likes you, delights in you, and guess what? He's seen behind the door, and it hasn't spoiled his appetite. He still wants to come in. So, let's reread the passage. Use your imagination. Jesus is at the door of your heart. He says, "Here I am! I'm standing at the door and knocking. If you hear my voice and open your door, I will come in and eat with you, and you with me." QUESTION Jesus is at your door: What are you feeling? Are you excited? Are you panicked? Do you want to open the door for him, or do you have reservations? Do you believe he is excited to see you? If not, what do you think he is feeling? PRAYER Jesus, You have said you are waiting and wanting to be with me.  Please show me when and where I don't believe this.  I want you to come in!  I want to have an open-door policy with you!  I want you to have the keys!  Like the Psalmist said, "The closer I am to You, my God, the better because life with You is good"! Psalm 73:28 (VOICE)
