Foreword<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

“If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.”<\/strong>\u00a0 (John 14:23, NIV)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \"Heart\"<\/a><\/em><\/strong>One evening I opened the door of my heart to Jesus Christ. What an entrance He made! It was a very real experience, and the weight of my sin rolled off my shoulders as He came in. Something had happened at the very centre of my life.\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0 He had been knocking on the door of my heart for some time, and I had been deliberately resisting His knock. How thankful I am that He persisted and kept knocking! <\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 He kept saying, \u201cLook I\u2019m knocking on your door!<\/em> if any\u00a0\u00a0one hears my voice, and opens the door, I will come in to him, and will eat with him, and he with me.\u201d (Rev 3:20)<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 He took my load from me, and as He came into the darkness of my heart, He turned on the light; He built a fire on the hearth and banished the chill. He started music where there had been stillness, and He filled the emptiness with His own loving, wonderful fellowship. In the joy of this new relationship I said to Jesus Christ, “Lord, I want this heart of mine, this house of mine, \u00a0to be Yours. I\u00a0 want to have You settle down here and be perfectly at home. Everything I\u00a0 have belongs to You\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0I was never more sure of anything else in my young life and I have never doubted that He came in\u00a0 then to stay. I have never regretted that decision and I never will.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0 It proved to be many years before I was willing to let Him be truly Master and Lord of everything in my house! But at the beginning I couldn\u2019t wait to show Him around!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
