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.
Revelation 3:20
Jesus, may Your Holy Spirit guide me to seek Your presence more and more.
I know that it’s in You that I find true peace and rest.
God has been at work in the world since the moment He created it. (Actually, God has never NOT been active, but let’s just focus on Genesis 1:1 until now.) God created humanity because God is a creative God, and His love overflowed into the creation of Adam and Eve, continued to your creation, and will continue for all eternity.
When God created humanity, we were given essentially unlimited freedom. God has always wanted a relationship with humanity.
And because God is love, each individual has a choice to respond to this invitation or not. Even for those who deny God’s existence or reject His love, God wants a relationship.
No matter what you have done, are currently doing, or one day will do, God loves you and wants to be in relationship with you. No matter what the people in your life have done, are currently doing, or one day will do, God loves them and wants to be in relationship with them too.
REFLECT:
What are some ways God has pursued a relationship with you throughout your life? How have you experienced God’s love when you’ve responded?
RESPOND:
Thank God for His continual pursuit of a relationship with you and the people you know. Ask God to help you always respond to His invitation with a yes.
