How many times have we seen the word, “come”? It appears on every invitation. Come to our party! Help us to celebrate! Come to our open house. Come and join us in whatever endeavor. It appears, not only on an invitation but as an invitation, to welcome others, whether to a party or to a lesson or to a service. Come…It’s an open door just waiting for a response. How is the door to my heart? Is it open, open to the Father’s kingdom? Each and every time we recite the Our Father we invite the Father, come, and enter my heart, Lord God of all. Once the door is opened by us, the Father can work miracles through us, for us, by us. He uses each one of us in marvelous ways. Look around you and behold the people of the Lord. They are there in service to one another in a thousand different ways. Some come as doctors, some come as teachers, some as priests, many come as parents. Once we have opened the door to our hearts, our own wills are cast by the wayside. It is now the Father’s will in which we live. His will is the same, yesterday, today, and tomorrow, that we love one another as He has loved us.
Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. Matt 26:34
