A LITTLE girl was given a pretty text card by her mother. Upon it were the words:
Memory Verse
“BEHOLD, I STAND AT THE DOOR, AND KNOCK: IF ANY MAN HEAR MY VOICE, AND OPEN THE DOOR, I WILL COME IN TO HIM, AND WILL SUP WITH HIM, AND HE WITH ME.” Rev. 3:2020Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. (Revelation 3:20).
She thought a great deal about it, and talked with her mother as to its meaning. When she went to bed she took the card with her to her room.
In the morning she said, “Mother, I lay awake a good while last night, thinking of Jesus outside the door. And, Mother, I prayed to Him, oh, so earnestly, that He would come into my heart, and stay there always! And, Mother, I believe He has come in, and I am going to be His little girl.”
Now this little girl opened the door at the knock of the Lord Jesus, and I have no doubt she was right in thinking that He entered, for He says, “If any man” (and “any” means any one, old or young) “open the door, I will come in.”
