Visiting Day

He was looking forward to this moment all day and all week long, after 6 days of labor
it finally arrived – Visiting Day!
The man with the keys arrived to swing open the large, heavy doors.
The cold hall springs to life in the warm glow of light. He could
hardly control His emotions.
The families began to arrive. He peers from the corner of the room longing
for the 1st glimpse of His loved one. He lives for the weekends. He lives for
these visits.
As the cars arrive, He watches intently. Then, finally, they arrive, the ones for
whom He would do anything. They embrace and visit, then eat a light lunch and reminisce how
things used to be.
Some moments are quiet others joyful, at one point, they break into singing. But all too soon it is over.
Then the man with the keys closes the heavy doors. The key turns in
the lock marking the end of a special day. He’s alone again because He knows that most of His visitors will not have any contact with Him again till next week.
A tear comes to Jesus’ eye as the last car pulls out of the church parking lot. He knows that some, far too many, will not visit with Him again until the next Sabbath — Visiting Day.
Does this describe your time with Jesus or are you taking time to build a daily walk, an ongoing relationship with Him? Please make every moment of every day Visiting Day with Jesus.
