I saw a man standing on a corner wearing dirty clothes, with uncombed hair and looking like he had a hard, perhaps homeless, life.  He had yellow police crime scene tape tied around his head.  Talk about a revelation!  How many of us are walking around tattered and torn on the inside like a crime scene, but because we are a little more economically blessed, we’re able to cover our mess with descent clothes, housing and toiletries?  Consider the Laodiceans in Rev. 3  God help us.  God heal us. 

Did you see him on the corner?  Tattered and torn.  Dirty.  The one with the police crime scene tape tied around his head?  Police tape is used to keep others out of the crime scene so that the evidence is not mistakenly or purposely tampered with.  The tape is to protect the area of disturbance.  Do we have invisible police tape or maybe walls around us keeping others out?   Maybe if we allow someone in, some things might get fixed.  God help us.  God heal us. 

Have you seen him yet?  He’s there quite often ....the one with the police crime scene tape wrapped around his head.  The tape seems to warn others to stay away.  Maybe, he doesn’t trust anyone to help him.  I’ve been told that “intimacy” (personal privacy) with God invites Him to “in to me see”.  Let’s let Him see.  Let’s let whoever He sends to see into us so that we can be helped.  God help.  God heal. 

Are you that man or wo-man who has invisible crime scene tape or some other barrier up to prevent entrance by someone else, and even God,  into your situation?  Even a crime scene needs to be investigated.  Rev.3 says He stands at the door and knocks.  Let in God or whoever He sends so that your “crime scene  messes of this life can be investigated and cleaned up.  God help us.  God heal us.
