In Revelation 3, Jesus speaks to the church in Laodicea and says, “You are neither hot nor cold… I wish you were one or the other!” (v.15). It’s a strong message, but it comes from love. Jesus isn’t condemning—He’s calling His people back to a wholehearted relationship with Him. Friends, you may not always see it, but your lives leave a deep impression. Your words, your patience, your choices, and even your quiet presence shape the hearts and forms our minds shaped by relationships.
It’s not about being perfect or having all the answers. It’s about being open to growth, honest in your walk, and anchored in something greater than yourself. It’s noticed when you lead with humility and show kindness, even in frustration. It’s noticed when you consistently show up with care. It’s noticed when you continue to walk with God even when the road is hard or the steps feel small. That kind of faithfulness speaks volumes.
Jesus says, “I stand at the door and knock.” He’s not waiting for you to be stronger or better– He’s waiting to walk with you just as you are. A heart that stays open to Him becomes a source of life for everyone nearby. So keep seeking Him and keep answering the knock until you see Him face-to-face.
– Where in my life have I grown lukewarm or comfortable?
– How is this impacting my relationship with God, myself, and with others?
– Confess this to the Lord and ask Him to empower you to walk in the fullness of His love this week.
