The Handle's on the Other Side!

vI remember this painting of Jesus in a garden, and He's knocking onwhat looks to be a big oak door. Holman Hunt painted it and when he wasready to unveil it, he called his friends and family together. It wasquiet as each person stood there. Then, people began to comment on whatimpressed them. But one friend said hesitantly, "Uh, Holman, it's abeautiful painting. But, well, didn't you forget something?" "What didI forget?" The friend said, "The handle. There's no handle on thedoor." To which the artist simply replied, "Oh! No, I didn't forget thehandle. When Jesus knocks on the door of your heart, the handle's onthe INSIDE."This painting was based on Jesus' own words in Revelation 3:20. It wasa statement made originally to believers who had left Jesus out. "HereI am! I stand at the door and...

God Speaks

The man whispered, "God, speak to me"And a meadowlark sang.But the man did not hear.So the man yelled "God, speak to me"And the thunder & lightning rolled across the sky.But the man did not listen.The man looked around and said, "God, let me see you."And a star shined brightly.But the man did not see.And, the man shouted, "God, show me a miracle"And a life was born.But the man did not notice.So, the man cried out in despair, "Touch me, God, and let me know youare here"Whereupon, God reached down and touched the man.But the man brushed the butterfly away and walked on.I found this to be a great reminder that God is always around us in thelittle and simple things that we take for granted.. even in ourelectronic age... so I would like to add one more:The man cried "God, I need your help"And...
