*Knock, knock, knock*
“Who is it?”
“It’s me, would you
please open I want to come in.”
“You? Why all of a
sudden you wanna check up on me, after so long? And why are you sneaking in the
back, are you scared to come to the front?
(This door has never
been opened in ages, deadbolt locks, keys already lost and if I were to open it
the structure would fall apart leaving it irreparable for some time, at least until
we got a good repairman. Opening it is like paving a way for thieves, and no temporary
fixing would chase away any adversity)
Afraid of my Father?
Can’t stand up to him like a man? Boy you ain’t changed, you’re still the same
lowlife scum that I left you as huh? Sad….”
“Hey, come on, at least
I mustered the courage to even come close to your territory, now would you please
let me in? Where’s the girl that I fell for? The one who laughed at my every
joke, the one who was the right to right and the left to my left- you know, my
ride or die chick? I miss her, I want her back and I came to get her. And……….
why am I talking to the door- girl let me in!”
“Or else what? You’re
gonna knock the door down? Go ahead- if you are man enough- and as long as you
are willing to face my Father- do what you want to do!”
“Your Dad? Girl, I got
nothing but respect for your Dad and all, and believe me, He is the last
person’s wrath I wanna see- just His stare makes me wanna move from the Artic
to Antartica, I would even choose hell over heaven any day just to not stand in
His way. Still I wanna see you, and if I can’t come inside, then step outside-
maybe we can talk there”
“There is no way, I am
leaving my Father’s presence, my haven just so that I can “chit-chat” with you.
Seems all that you see is who I once was, not who I am now. I know you’ve kept
your eyes on me from the moment we had that last kiss (of death) and instead of
applauding my progress all you want me to do is regress. Boy, I’ve been
changed! The girl you knew, the insecure and naïve chick- she don’t live here
no more! Who do you think you are, coward man?
You’re still creeping through the back cause you ain’t man enough to
face the gate keeper. You laughed in my face at every tear, you assisted
“so-called friends” in trampling upon my already broken body. Instead of being
a hospital to my pain, you chose to be the weed to my existing addiction!”
“Stop lying! Who helped
you get that job, and all that money that you squandered on the fancy clothes
and expensive dinners? Me! I did it! For you!”
“No you stop bringing
destruction! It is true, I know who I was, what I did- but the truth remains I’ve
been changed. My Father showed me that I can be more- He fathered me, loved me
even when I hated me. I choose Him over you any day! I love and live only for Him!”
“Shut up! Open this
door!” *pounding on the door*
“Daddy! Daddy! Satan is
trying to break in!”
*in a booming voice* “I’m
coming! Boy if you break into this place, you will burn. Need I remind you
who cast you out from the heavens in the first place. Get behind her you devil. You
already know that “… if anyone is in Christ, he is a new
creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.[1]”
Leave!”
No,
no! *in a trembling voice* Listen I’m sorry I bothered you. Let’s forget this
ever happened! Not your Father! Buh-buh-buh bye now *voice and footsteps fade
way*
Every day of life
represents a new day of tests and sometimes we need to exercise our choice as
Kingdom people and rebuke the enemy at every opportunity. God is always with
us, for His word says that He would never leave us nor forsake us, but we
cannot slumber lest we forget we need to pass the tests in order to receive His
glory. All praise unto whom all praise is due, all honor unto the Most High. Always
stick with Him and you will be exhalted.
