At God's Door

A man came to Godís door and knocked.
A voice demanded, "Whoís there?"
The man answered, "Itís me."
The voice said, "There isnít room here for you and me."
The door remained closed.

After a year of loneliness and suffering, the man returned and knocked.
A voice demanded, "Whoís there?"
The man said, "Itís you."
The door opened to him.
