Christ Dwelling in the Heart
Revelation 3:20
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him…


A widow woman lives by herself in a little cottage by the seashore. Of all whom she loved, only one survives — a lad at sea; all the rest have passed "from sunshine to the sunless land." She has not set her eyes upon him for years. But her heart is full of him. She thinks of him by day, and dreams of him by night. His name is never missed out from her prayers. The winds speak about him; the stars speak about him; the waves speak about him, both in storm and calm. No one has difficulty in understanding how her boy dwells in her heart. Let that stand as a parable of what may be for every believer in the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

(J. Culross, D. D.)
