He stands at the window, his face pressed against the pane. Forehead resting on the cool glass, hands splayed on the frame, he gazes, his breath making hazy circles that fog then clear with the inhale and exhale of each breath. He peers at the family seated around the table. The soft lighting captures their laughter as they pass around the platters laden with food. On the outside, he remains hungry. His stomach growls, but he hungers for things food cannot satisfy. To be included. To share the camaraderie. To be family. But he’s been shut out. Shoved into the cold by their neglect. Isolated from relationship by their indifference. Ostracized by their absence of love. They ignored his knocks, so he moved silently to the window where he stares, yearning, waiting. Their forgotten Savior.
Tip/Tidbit: Does Jesus feel a part of your family? How can you include him in your home today? What visual reminders can help you remember your most important family member? Scriptures, Bibles, an extra place at the table? I heard of one person pouring two cups of coffee during his morning prayer time. One cup was for him, the other for the Savior with whom he conversed in prayer. Only by inviting the Savior into your heart and life will you experience complete love.
