Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if any man hear my voice and opens the door, I will come in and sup with him and he with me. Revelation 3:20
In my childhood home, there hung a picture much like the one that I have posted here. Jesus standing at the door knocking on the door asking to come in. The door represents our hearts or perhaps our lives. And you will notice that the door has no knob to get in. It must be opened from the inside by its occupants.
However, I also found out that it can also mean that companies that have this policy indicates to its employees that the door to its supervisors and managers office is open to address complaints, questions, comments, suggestions and like wise to encourage open communication the employees may have.
Relating the definition of the one used today as communication between employers and employees and that picture of Jesus standing and knocking on the door, the two are similar, if we think about it.
Jesus has his own open door policy in that he wants to communicate with those that love him and opened the door to let him in. And that is why he taught us to pray. We can ask for forgiveness, pray for God's guidance, pray for others, receive healing, let our requests be known, and yes, air our grievances to God.
God wants us to always be able communicate with us, but first we have to open the door and invite him in because he won't push his way in to insist on what we don't want.
An employer can be of help, of course. But in the grand theme of things, who better than to have an open door policy with than with the God of heaven, and his Son Jesus Christ.
There is none under heaven by which we can fully communicate! Any time of the day or hour, his door is open!
Thanks for coming by today, Friends. Have a blessed day!
