Dear Young Christian:

Here are four things the Lord desires to open in our lives.

Our eyes: “Their eyes were opened, and they knewHim” (Luke 24:31).

The Scriptures: “He opened to us the Scriptures” (Luke 24:32).

Our understanding: “Then opened He theirunderstanding” (Luke 24:45).

Our heart: “Whose heart the Lord opened” (Acts 16:14).

There is then something the Lord wants us to open. It is the door of fellowship and communion with Himself. He says, “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” (Revelation 3:20). As you start out this week, make sure you allow Him the opportunity to open your spiritual eyes, the Scriptures, your understanding, and your heart. And don’t forget to open yourself to His companionship. That’s what He truly desires.

Your Christian Friend,

Jim Hyland
