Revelation 3:14 & 20
These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God’s creation. “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 him, and he with me.
What of Today’s Verse…
It has always fascinated me that this verse has often been cited by those calling others to conversion when clearly in its context it’s written to lukewarm Christians needing to rekindle their love relationship to the Lord. As believers, we need to ask the Lord Jesus into our hearts, our home, and lives. It’s not that he’s not there, it’s just that he awaits our invitation — he will not barge in. He only inhabits hearts into which he has been invited!
Let us Pray:
Holy Lord and Savior, I know you long to share your presence and fellowship with me. I know you are nearby as I draw each breath. But I confess that I am often unaware, and even sometimes unappreciative of your presence. I ask you this day to come into my heart and fill my life with your presence and comfort and power. I want my life to be lived for you and with you. Amen.

My body is a temple of the risen Christ. I am strong and whole.
I may choose to speak today’s affirmation in part, building on the truth so that it resonates within my soul.
I affirm: My body is a temple of the risen Christ. I have no difficulty accepting the perfection I am meant to express. I know that my body is the outward expression of inner holiness and wholeness.
I continue: I am strong and whole. Saying this doesn’t make it so; I am claiming what is true for me as a temple of the risen Christ. I embrace the perfection that I am and can be through Christ in me.
I speak the truth, I embrace it, and I live it. My body is a temple of the risen Christ. I am strong and whole.
“That same hour they got up and returned to Jerusalem; and they found the eleven and their companions gathered together. They were saying, ‘The Lord has risen indeed, and he has appeared to Simon!'”–Luke 24:33-34
