Read Revelations 1-3
Revelations 3:20 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." When someone says let’s get together, we don’t know if they really want to get together, or whether that’s their way of ending the conversation on a friendly note. So when we try to set a real future meeting, we find out how sincere they were.
If they can’t make our first suggestion, we offer a second. We can keep proposing date after date after date, but most of us recognize that after the third no we should quit. We give up. But when we’re the ones saying no and we really mean to connect, we know they’re going to give up after the third try, so we participate in the choosing, letting the others know we mean business.
Jesus doesn’t give up on us. He waits and knocks on the door of our hearts and lives, waiting patiently for us to let Him in. Once we do, He offers us complete and intimate relationship with Him, no matter how long we made Him wait.
