Digging through some old writings ... ran across this.  I definitely needed the reminder.  

A word from God:

"There is something, sayeth the Lord, that is more powerful to destroy than COVID.  It is SIN.  But you will not say it.

Would you open your door to a thief or murderer?  Would you expose your loved ones to death?

Yet, you invite sin in.  It has its own key.  I knock and sin answers.  You do not answer.  It answers for you.

I will not talk to sin.  I must talk to you.  You must decide.  I will not talk to sin.

Come outside.  Come out.  I will talk to you but you must come out to meet me.

There is a door between us.  Fear guards the door.  When I knock it answers.  Why are you afraid?  Why must somebody else answer your door?

You don't know it but I hear your heart speak.  Are you surprised?  Do you not listen to your own heart?  There is darkness and there is light.  But light is overcoming the darkness.  Will you let it?

I will speak and no one will stop Me.  Open your ears and listen.  I will not speak hate nor will I bless it.  I will judge my own first.  My heart, my heart.  Why do you distrust Me?  Why will you not listen?  Obey Me, obey Me, this is My call."
