I stand at the door and knock
I am not particularly gifted with dreaming. Still, I had an interesting dream Saturday.
I dreamt that the Savior visited each of his people, though they did not see him. He wanted to do some miracle in their lives. But first he wanted to test and evaluate them, to see if they were ready. The tests were little minor things, but most often people failed them, and in a way rejected Him. The people did not see the Savior or His disappointment when they were not ready. He would come back later, perhaps tomorrow, and try again.
The verse that really resonated with this:
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. Rev 3:20
Now, I am sincerely wondering what those little tests would be in my life, and what I need to do to be ready.
I am still looking.

The thoughts of others
were light and fleeting
of lovers’ meeting
and luck and fame
Mine were of wisdom
and mine were steady
so I was ready
when Jesus came

This is an inspired dream. Almost an inspired nightmare.
Its like the old nightmare of showing up for a test where you forgot you had the class.
What if self-reporting, good resolutions, and “maybe next year” were no longer enough? What if you had to give an account *now*?
