The Doors To Our Hearts

We've been reading through Revelation.

We must remember our first love. Hold tight to faith in the midst of tribulation and trial. Beware of false teachers. Defend the flock against the Jezebel--the self-proclaimed prophetess whose children are perishing as a proof of her wickedness. Awaken the dead church. Know that it is good in God's sight to be faithful with a little: be patient, endure, persevere. See ourselves through the filter of God's Word and ways; forget our earthly riches and seek to buy God's gold and be clothed in His fine white linen.

And today, we arrived at a word picture that even the littlest of us could image.

Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door,
I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.
Revelation 3:20a

And then we each drew a picture of the door of our heart...

4 1/2-year-old Cuddlebug's door
looks a little like her favorite
summer fruit!...

7-year-old Dumpling's is very grand
in design and stature...

11 1/2-year-old Fifi's is beautiful;
just. as. I. knew. it. would. be...

It was a joy to sit down and do this one with them.
Notice the Savior's sandals by the door...

What a wonderful exercise to complete your reading! The doors are all beautiful - I venture that the Savior would be honored to step through any one of them...

What a neat activity. I really enjoyed seeing the pictures. Yours is lovely too. BUT, I'm glad you told me those were sandals b/c for just a quick minute while I was scrolling down I thought it was a grasshopper---no offense!!!:) :) :)
