I am so glad that you decided to come in! I saw you standing out in the storm for so long - but there was nothing I could do. I called to you - you weren't listening - too caught up in what was happening around you. I wanted to come out and get you - to pull you - or to carry you inside - but I couldn't do that. You had to make the decision to come yourself. Listen to the music, the singing and the rejoicing! That is to welcome you! Let me take your old and tattered coat - it is still dripping from the storm. I have a new garment for you. Come away from the door - you don't have to listen to the storm any longer. You are safe here - trust Me, lean on Me. Come - enter into My home - enter into all that I have prepared for you. There are many wonderful things here - come - learn My ways and grow. Come away from the door. Trust Me.
Have you accepted Jesus as Savior? Have you accepted Him as Lord of your life? Have you left the 'world' behind and entered into the family of God? Praise the Lord! Welcome! Now look around you - are you standing just inside the door? Can you still hear the 'storms' that tormented you before you accepted Christ? Are you still wearing the garment you had on when you came to Jesus? There is more! Picture yourself just inside His doorway. Standing on His welcome mat! He is calling you to come further. Learn of Him, learn all that He has for you. Open your Bible and learn! He will teach you as you read. There is so much more.
