If he knocks on the door, answer it.

If he wakes you up at 3:30 a.m., get up and get a pen and paper.

He's been trying to wake me up for years, same time, same place. Most of the time I roll over and go back to sleep. Occasionally, like today, I get up and get the paper/pen. Today he told me much. Does He talk to me? Thoughts come. If they are kind and loving I'll give Him credit. Today I felt the Light, I felt like I knelt in it. I felt like I wanted to live in it forever. Anyone who has ever felt the Love knows what I mean. I looked for it for years and when I finally found it, I asked, "What took so long?" His reply: "You were looking for me where I couldn't be." I've since learned He can't live in unclean places. Someone told me a story the other day, "Pretend someone is making your favorite chocolate cake. They are going to put a little poop in your cake, not much, just a bit, you probably won't even taste it. How much poop do you want in your chocolate cake?" Well, I don't know about you, but I don't want any. Yet, most of us, including me, tolerate different degrees of uncleanness in our lives, even believe we must have it, contention, worry, pornography on any level. Fear permeates all we do and we wonder why. Today I knelt in the light and know that I never want to live in the darkness again. In the light there is safety and wisdom and direction.

Yesterday someone handed me a 3 X 5 card with this on it:

"The character of Jesus is resplendently and constantly shown in all the accounts we have of Him. In fact, it is precisely because of the matchless luminosity of his character that Jesus truly qualifies as the light of the World. It is by means of his light that we should view everything else. When our view is so illuminated we can truly see 'things as they really are.' (Jacob 4:13) Little wonder that the more we understand and experience God's and Jesus' love for us, the more we want to please them, to be more like them and to be [one] with them." (Neal Maxwell, Increase our Faith)

It helped me on my way, I hope it helps you on yours. I hear that pilots spend more time off course than on and still reach their destination. I've spent much more time off than on, have you? Our destination is love and He is the source. If you've not experienced it yet, I hope and pray you do. You pray you do and you will. His promises will not fail.
