In the Bible, Jesus says he wants to come into your heart, into your life, so that you can have a relationship with him. Jesus calls you first of all to himself - not to a particular church, not to a set of rules or some philosophy. He calls you to himself.He stands at the doorway to your life and his words are like knocks on the door to get your attention. What he wants from you is that you would open yourself to him, so that he can meet with you and give you real life.
He says to you, "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." Revelation 3:20
How can you open the door?
To open yourself to Jesus you have to invite him to come in. He wants to meet with you honestly and openly. He knows everything you have ever done and, because of his death on the cross, he is ready to receive you just as you are.
So picture him standing before you now. And speak out these words to him. Say them out loud as you offer yourself to him.
Lord Jesus.
I want to know you today.
Please forgive me for the past.
For all the things I wish I hadn't done.
For all the good things I wish I had done but didn't do.
(Take a moment to mention specific things...)
I believe you gave your life on the cross for me.
I now give my life to you.
Come into my life today.
Come in as my Saviour to give me life.
Come in as my Lord to guide me.
Come in as my Friend to be with me.
Fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me a new life.
And I will serve you for the rest of my life.
Amen.
