"Behold I stand at the door and knock: if any man hear My voice and open the door I will come in and will sup with him and he with me."
Revelation 3:20

Every man and woman who has ever lived is a beloved child of the Father: for each and every one I suffered and died. In My perpetual resurrection there is life for those who identify with my saving love.

And I wait constantly for the door of the soul's awareness to be opened to My approach. I wait continually. I knock. How great My sadness and grief when the soul's constant refusal to hear My voice brings about a rebellious spirit which prevents their opening, or when the soul sleeps.

Joy it is when there is an unlocking, then an unfastening, a hesitant looking out, the diffident invitation, the taking of My outstretched hand, the entering in, the sitting down in peace together, and then the silent communion.

Until My entry is accepted the growth of each soul is stunted, the seeing dimmed, the activity limited in value and worth. Each soul who eats ad drinks in My Presence perceives a family likeness in all who share my life.

Many there are who entertain Me unawares and welcome Me under other guises; for I lived and died and rose again for each and every one. Singleness of mind and heart , a loving commitment to persons and right cause, sacrificial living and in dying to self - all these reactions to life and living signify an opening of the door to the Reality to which I have given my name. And those who live by them in love and integrity are Mine in communion with the Father.
