I
AM Open and Receptive to Divine, Unlimited Ideas (Mark 7:31-37)
“To the angel of
the church in Philadelphia write: These are the words of him who is holy and
true, who holds the key of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he
shuts no one can open (Revelation 3:7).” KSB
When you were born, you entered
this world open. You came into the earth through an open womb, you squinted and
opened your eyes, and you opened your mouth to be fed and to cry. You began
life open. But something happened along the way, a trauma, drama, or some
painful experience that caused you to close yourself off. Now, you are on a
journey to open up again. The same way something caused you to close, something
can happen to help you open. I am on a journey to open, you are on a journey to
open, we are on a journey to open, to open our minds to divine, unlimited
ideas; to open our hearts to love; to open our eyes to see God and goodness in
every person, place, and thing; to open our ears to hear what the Spirit is
saying to us; to open our mouths to speak what is good and positive; to open
our hands to give and receive; to open our feet to go to new places and have
new experiences. You are on a journey to open, and no matter how closed off you
feel, a miracle, sign, or wonder can happen to make you open.
Some of us have deadbolt locks on
our hearts and minds, with motion sensors and alarms that go off if anyone gets
too close. Others may not have the alarms, but there’s still a chain on the
lock. But you’re on a journey to open, where these chains are being removed
from your heart and mind. You’re on a journey to open, where the deadbolt is
coming off your mind and heart. For some, the door may still be closed not
chained, but the mind or heart is still closed. You’re on a journey to open.
Some of us are looking through the peephole, trying to see what’s on the other
side of being open, wondering what might happen if we open up. Some of us crack
the door slightly not fully open, but it’s a start. God is saying, “Give me
that crack,” as part of your journey to openness. Eventually, we reach a place
in our consciousness, thoughts, and fears where we open the door fully and say,
“I am open and receptive to divine, unlimited ideas.” I am on a journey to
openness, where the door God opens, no one can close, and the door God shuts,
no one can open.
Many times, the doors in your life
are closed because your mind and heart are closed. Be honest about being
closed; be open about being closed. A closed door reflects a closed mind, and a
closed window reflects a closed heart. But if you open your mind, doors of
opportunity will open. If you open your heart, doors to harmonious
relationships will open. We are on a journey to open. As you fast, allow God to
heal you from your past. In this time of prayer, fasting, and reflection, let
it be a journey to open yourself, where God is able to do exceedingly
abundantly above all you can ask. I am open enough to ask; I am open enough to
think that it is possible. All things are possible because I believe, and I am
open. I say yes to God, I say yes to good, and I am open.
