KNOCK! KNOCK!

Revelation 3:20 - "Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears and listens to and heeds My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will eat with him, and he [will eat] with Me."

This is a poem that I wrote a while back when I first started walking with Christ. This is a poem about a man/woman whom at one point in their life they were saved and had experienced the Love of God and knew him intimately. But after some trials and tests that relationship was severed. This poem describes a conversation that God is trying to have with that person. The Poem is titled, "Knock! Knock!"

KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!
YOU DON'T ANSWER SO, I KNOCK SOME MORE!

KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!
I KNOW YOU HEAR ME, SO WHY DON'T YOU OPEN THE DOOR?

KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!
WHY WON'T YOU LET ME IN? YOU AND I, WE USE TO BE SUCH GOOD FRIENDS! I WAS WITH YOU IN THE BEGINNING AND I WILL BE WITH YOU IN THE END. BUT HOW CAN I BE THERE TO HELP YOU, IF YOU WON'T LET ME IN?

YOU WOULD CALL OUT TO ME, ASKING ME WHY; ASKING ME HOW WOULD YOU MAKE IT, HOW WOULD YOU SURVIVE? AND SO I TOLD YOU, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY I SHOWED YOU. BUT NOW, IT IS AS IF YOU FORGOTTEN THE THINGS THAT I HAVE OPENED YOUR HEART TO, THE WAYS IN WHICH YOU SHOULD ABIDE. WE HAD A RELATIONSHIP GROWING AND NOW YOU WON'T LET ME BACK INSIDE!

BUT THAT'S ALL RIGHT! THAT'S KOOL! THAT'S OKAY! BECAUSE I WILL KEEP KNOCKING AND KNOCKING AND EVENTUALLY YOU'LL HEAR ME AND GIVE WAY AND THEN, MAYBE THEN, YOU WILL REALIZE THAT I AM THE SAME YESTERDAY, TODAY AND ALWAYS.

KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!
I KNOW YOU HEAR ME!
