Oops!

I rushed in to work, my mind full of other things. One glance at my desk showed many things had accumulated over the long weekend. I immediately sat down to tackle them.

At 7:40 I happened to glance out the front door and saw a man standing there staring at me. He wasn't knocking but seemed to be patiently waiting...for something...

Suddenly it hit me! I jumped out of my chair and hurried to unlock the door and change the "CLOSED" sign to "OPEN". I sincerely apologized as I let him in. He didn't seem upset but was very gracious and kind as I proceeded to take his payment.

To me it was a picture of Jesus. He is so patient and kind, never in a hurry, never forcing His way in. When I don't get it right there is no condemnation but instead that quiet voice saying, "Come, lets go on together from here."
