God wants us to have an undying love for Him. In Revelations 3:14-22, Christ rebuked the Church of Ladociea for their spiritual apathy. He said to them, “You are lukewarm – neither cold or hot-I am about to spit you out of my mouth.” Ladociea had a pipe system that extended to the nearby city of Hierapolis. Heirapolis possessed hot, spring water that had medicinal value. This water would travel to Ladociea via the pipeline. By the time the water arrived to Ladociea, however, it was lukewarm and lost its medical value. Bevarages were usually drank hot or cold, but never lukewarm. Imagine going to your favorite restaurant and hearing your waiter say to you, “I’m sorry, but we are out of hot and cold drinks today. However, we have a wide selection of brand new premium lukewarm beverages.” You are probably saying to yourself, “Nope! Not interested!” When become lukewarm when we loose our spiritual fervor. We simply exist. Because of our lack of passion for God we become useless for God’s kingdom. Yet, the God who sits high above the heavens desires to be close to us here on earth. Jesus asked the church of Ladociea to open the door of their hearts, so that He can come in and dine with them. God wants us to invite Him into the secret places of our lives and connect with Him on a deeper level. God wants to be close with you. He’s knocking on your door. Will you ignore Him or let Him in?
