For a great and effective door has opened to me. – 1 Corinthians 16:9
I hear the drumming of a fist on the wooden door… Repeatedly… persistently… I listened intently… But stubbornly, I refused to make a move… And no person can nudge me to contract a single muscle.
With my heart closed and my mind filled with cynicism… I decided not to let the stranger in. Yet it seems… My passive-aggressive behavior could not convince him to leave— He continued to hit the door with his knuckles.
A familiar voice then added to the noise… I paid attention and recognized it to be… My conscience. It knows me well… My dilemmas, my pain, my needs that were ungratified. And like how it always does… Came to my rescue and offered that much-needed enlightenment.
Its words were gentle yet it spoke with wisdom and dignity… “Open the door… let it in… For it may never come again.”
And I think and I reflect… Doing my best not to let my pride and insecurities interfere with my judgment.
But I don’t have a conclusion for now.
How do you respond when opportunity comes knocking at your door?
