There's A Knocking At The Door

There's A Knocking At The Door How often do we feel unworthy when something wonderful or miraculous has happened in our lives? We think, “What did I do to deserve this?” Do we carelessly take for granted the wonderful graces received in our lives every day without so much as a prayer filled with gratitude much less bending to our knees in awe and thanksgiving? Getting caught up in the hustle and bustle of our lives leaves little room for necessary quiet time, meditation, reflection and prayer. If we slow down our breathing and the speed at which we travel throughout our day we may recognize that we are not ultimately in control of our lives but only passengers on a wonderful journey toward eternity with God that waits patiently for us to acknowledge Him. God sent Jesus to knock on our door. How long will it take for us to know He is there waiting for us to acknowledge His presence? Open the door to your giving heart. Release what suppresses the Holy Spirit inside. Set free what precludes you from really loving. You may think, “Lord, I am not worthy to have you come into my life.” The Lord shows by all the great deeds, the little and great resolutions, the sparing incidents and the light after the turmoil in your life, that His love is abundant and unconditional and there for those of such great faith. Luke 7:1-3,6-7,9-10 After Jesus had finished all his sayings in the hearing of the people, he entered Capernaum. A centurion there had a slave whom he valued highly, and who was ill and close to death. When he heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to him, asking him to come and heal his slave. And Jesus went with them, but when he was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to say to him, ‘Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy to have you come under my roof; therefore I did not presume to come to you. But only speak the word, and let my servant be healed. When Jesus heard this he was amazed at him, and turning to the crowd that followed him, he said, ‘I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such faith.’ When those who had been sent returned to the house, they found the slave in good health.
