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.

My Daily Musings-March 14th, 2026

“Do not be embarrassed of your failures…
learn from them and start again.”

Sometimes we can be very hard on ourselves. We see our mistakes, our weaknesses, and the ways we fall short, and we feel discouraged. But the truth is that none of us came to this earth to be perfect. We came here to learn.

Our Heavenly Father knew we would stumble. He knew we would make mistakes. That is exactly why He gave us a Savior. Through Jesus Christ, our failures do not have to define us—they can refine us.

Every time we fall and choose to stand up again, we grow a little stronger. Every time we turn back to Him, we move a little closer to becoming the people He knows we can be.

So don’t be ashamed of your failures. Let them teach you. Let them humble you. And then begin again—with faith, with hope, and with the quiet knowledge that you are deeply loved.
