An Invitation

“Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him, and will dine with him, and he with Me.”
Rev. 3:20

It’s a daily ritual for many of us. Pull out the mail. There it is. The handwritten envelope heralds the arrival of a “personal” letter. Rip open and pull out the contents. Immediately you recognize the “packaging” of a wedding announcement, and invitation to attend a grand occasion.

What’s this? A little card and envelope are included. “Please RSVP,” it says. A response is requested. Will we attend? Can they plan on us being there?

Not in our mailbox but through the conviction of the Holy Spirit, all who are separated from God receive an invitation to attend the greatest wedding of all time - when the bride of Christ (the church) meets the Groom (Christ) and they are forever united.

You have received that invitation. How have you responded? Have you casually laid it aside, thinking you will deal with it tomorrow? Have you callously thrown it away rejecting this holy offer? Or have you gladly, immediately sat down and filled out the RSVP card and mailed it back, so to speak?

We have two choices. We can choose or refuse. Do not grieve the Father’s heart any longer. Accept His invitation to life.

Scripture says - Today, if you hear his voice, harden not your heart. It was D.L. Moody who said, “The way to be saved is not to delay, but to come and take.”
