I Believe In God and That Jesus Is the Son of God
WON’T STOP NOW
“Your presence is an open door, so come now, Lord, like never before.”
Why don’t we always feel God’s presence? If God’s presence is really an open door, why does the door sometimes feel like it’s been shut?
There are a lot of reasons God could feel far away, but none of those reasons is because God has pulled away from us.
God’s love for us is unchanging, unending, and unconditional. No matter what we do, He will always love us. Still, we can’t expect God to come into our lives uninvited. He’s not going to overwhelm us with His presence if we haven’t asked for it.
The Bible says to, “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you” (Matthew 7:7).
God wants participation, not passivity. He isn’t going to knock on the door and drag us through it. His presence is an open door, but it’s up to us to step through it.
