Backstory
Corrie ten Boom once said, “When we are powerless to do a thing, it is a great joy that we can come and step inside the ability of Jesus.” This made me think of Jesus standing outside a door. The door could represent our hearts. All we have to do is let Him in, and He will abide with us. But we may think that we don’t have everything together, or that our hearts are messy. If we let Him in, He will take what we have and make it more.
The Door of My Heart
I have so many things to do
That I can’t keep going and I feel blue.
I feel that I have nothing left to give,
So I don’t know how I will live.
Just as I think this, I notice someone
Standing outside my door, but it could be anyone.
As I look out, I recognize who it is in an instant
For it is my Savior, with His light shining so brilliant.
I look around my house and everything is messy
So I don’t know if I should let Him in because I’m not ready.
I open the door anyway and I let His light inside,
I fall to my knees at His feet as I say that I have tried.
I apologize to Jesus about the mess,
But it doesn’t matter to Him, so I don’t stress.
He tells me that all He wants is my willing heart,
And if I can give Him that, He will do His part.
I look inside my heart and I don’t like what I see,
And I wonder, “Would He really want this version of me?”
He embraces me and I feel His amazing love,
That He brought with Him from His Father above.
The Takeaway:We might get so overwhelmed or stressed by our busy lives that we might consider giving up. We may sometimes feel that we are alone in our struggles. But we are never alone. When our strength gives out, we can always reach out to our Savior for help. He will take our messy hearts and make them into something beautiful.
