Who would be your lawyer if you were sitting in an
interrogation room? Who would be the cop? Who would be behind the one way
mirror?
Where will God be, in the room or behind the mirror looking
in? Is there a chance that Satan could be there too?
We have all seen crime shows where interrogation rooms have
one way glass. We watch how a suspect gets questioned by a cop and how others
watch and listen behind the one way mirror. As you know, a one way mirror is
where a person can look into the room but the person in the room can’t see you
watching him/her.
How many of us keep God behind the one way mirror. How many
of us keep standing in front of it, seeing our own reflection, hoping we can
see who stands behind the one way mirror?
How many of us keep standing in front of it, seeing our own reflection,
asking God to come through it and help us, knowing that we have put that mirror
there in the first place.
How often does God put his nose against the mirror with
tears in His eyes, hoping we ask him to be saved, sense His presence? So, you
ask why doesn’t God walk through the one way mirror and step into the room with
us. After all, He is God.
He is a loving, un-intrusive and patient God. He gave us the
free will to choose. He wants us to come to him because He desires it. He wants
us to invite Him in and He hopes that He doesn’t have to cause us to suffer to
realise we need Him. We keep asking Him for things, keep asking Him why for
everything but how many of us first truly invite him before we start “interrogating”
Him.
If God is in the room with you, who will He be? Is God the
cop urging you to tell the truth, asking for you to face your sins, urging you
to repent or is He your lawyer standing alongside you, guiding you, advising
you, believing in you, fighting for you. God knows where he needs to be for you
but He will only help you if you ask for it.
I pray that Christ
will live in your hearts by faith and that your life will be strong in love and
be built on love. Christ’s love is greater than anyone can ever know, but I
pray that you will be able to know that love.
Then you can be
filled with the fullness of God.

19
