Revelation 22:17 -- On Being Invited to Come

"And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely."
Revelation 22:17


I like the invitation here to partake of the waters of life. As noted in a previous verse, those who keep the commandments of God have "right to the tree of life" and are able to enter the gates into the city, so this verse coming after that seems to be God inviting us in... not a temporary invitation, but a lasting one, because God wants to hang out with us in eternity.

Today, let's remember that we are all invited. However many tries it takes, however much we have to learn on the way, God still, always, wants us to come and stay with Him. Let's accept the invitation and do the work to make sure we can make that meeting.
