I am the Lord thy God, which teaches thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldst go. O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea. Isaiah 48:17-18. 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, and he with me. Revelation 3:20.

How often and how variously does the Lord, knock at the door of our hearts? how clearly are his commandments held forth to us? but, how seldom are we inclined to give him the hearing? Very often we are so distracted, that we can hardly hear his voice, from the noise of worldly tilings in our senses; and we are not at home, when he is pleased to take up his abode with us. Well, even now he is knocking by this.

O let us open the door for him, directly, since he desires nothing from us that might be grievous, but intends to make our hearts a glorious residence and banqueting room of his love, to fill it with heavenly goods, and to prepare and give every thing himself.

I’ll bring him to my mother’s home,
Nor does my Lord refuse to come
To Zion’s sacred chambers, where
My soul first drew the vital air.

He gives me there his bleeding heart,
Pierced for my sake, with deadly smart:
I give my soul to him, and there
Our loves their mutual tokens share.

I charge ye all, ye earthly toys.
Approach not to disturb my joys;
Nor sin, nor hell, come near my heart
Nor cause my Saviour to depart.
