He invites us to place our confidence in his mercy and grace. As you reflect on the following biblical texts, we hope that you will experience God inviting you. May God give you the capacity today to hear and respond to his loving invitations. I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him and he with me.
Some people enter without knocking.

When needed, they can be latched, barred, bolted, double bolted and sealed securely. As we begin the healing process, however, we begin to experiment with allowing our defenses to come down.
