Revelation 3:8
‘I know your deeds. Behold, I have put before you an open door which no one can shut, because you have a little power, and have kept My word, and have not denied My name.
Jesus provides favourable conditions for serving him. In the face of adversaries, He gives opportunities to serve Him. The words “have set” literally mean given. Open doors are something that Jesus gives out of His grace. We do not earn or deserve the right to serve Him. Our opportunities for service are unadulterated gifts of grace from the Lord Jesus.
The word “open” is a verb and means a door that Jesus opened in the past with the result that the door still stands open.
A story is told of a mother whose daughter ran away and lived a wayward life. For a long time, no one knew where she was, but she finally came back, turned to Christ in repentance, and believed in Him. Someone asked the mother what she had done to bring her daughter back and she replied, “I prayed for her day and night.”
But that was not all.
She went on to say how she always left the front door unlocked, even at night. She didn’t want her daughter to come home in the middle of the night and find the door locked. And it just so happened that one night the girl came home, tried the door, found it open, and went in, never to go out again.
That open door is a beautiful picture of God’s heart toward us. It’s open for us to come to Him!
Open our eyes Lord
I want to see Jesus
To reach out and touch Him
And say that i love Him
Open my ears Lord
And Help me to listen
Open my eyes Lord
I want to see Jesus
Amen
