A KNOCK THAT CHANGED MY STORY

In the midst of my commotions

My troubles and confusions

I heard on my door a profound knock

Sure, it startled me but it was a knock

Could it be for me I asked myself quietly?

And it came again, a knock

From the sound I could tell

The knocker was in a hurry

Yet seemingly gentle and soft

Could this be the answer to all my questions?

A solution to all my problems I asked myself again

Well I could open the door and see for myself

But what if it were a thief

What if it was only an illusion?

What if he/she hadn’t all the answers I wanted

What if What if What if

In the midst of all these mind bothering questions,

 I heard the knock again

This time more persistent more earnest

This knocker wasn’t giving up any time soon

Here I stood at one side of the door

Not knowing what was behind the door

But what did I stand to lose if I took a peep just to be sure

Nothing could be worse than this mess I was already in

So I took a step closer and then another and another

Now in front of the door

The key in the lock turned and my hand on the handle

And I remembered I could just go back

And continue wallowing in my sorrow and pain

Than run the risk of more sorrow and pain

But the knocker wouldn’t just stop

So with high expectations and a little courage

I opened the door slowly,

 Uncertainty raging in me like never before

And there he was, a man

Standing at the door, shining like the sun

A setoff the most welcoming arms and a very charming smile

I was stunned overcame dumbfounded

This was better than all my imaginations my expectations

But there was a problem, should I let him?

Sure he looked good but how sure was I

That he truly had all the answers and solutions I needed

Secondly, my house was in a serious mess

And he didn’t look dirty in any way

Thirdly, while He spoke,

He told me of the pain and suffering He went through for me

How sure was I that the same would not be my fate?

I felt like banging the door in His face

But something told me that would be the wrong decision

And moreover He would continue knocking

So I let Him in and it all began

He first asked if I wanted my mess gone

And as funny as it sounds I said yes

Whoosh! It was all gone, gone, gone forever

I couldn’t believe my eyes

His was better than I thought

I ran to him and asked him to fix me

And he said he would if I would listen to him

And let him own my every property

Although that was quite a difficult decision

This guy surely had what I needed

So I was ready to trade in anything

For the joy, peace, wealth and health he had to offer

After the trade, he began to make some changes

They hurt so much I wanted him out immediately

But after every trying period something got better with me

It was like he was teaching me to be better

Instead of using is magic to make me better

So I hanged on

Sooner than later, I began to enjoy his lessons and teachings

I found it difficult to concentrate on anything than him

And even when he punished me in my wrongdoing

I could only see the pure unending love radiating from his face

I could only hear his soothing voice assuring me all the way

Every day I got more reason to know

That I made the right choice to open the door of my heart to let Jesus in.
