Welcome Home

“Welcome home Jesus, because I can’t make this place all that You can.” Great powerful words!

Jesus can’t make your home all He wants’ it to be, if you don’t invite Him beyond the welcome mat.

 “Behold. I stand at the door and knock.” (Revelations 3:20.)

Not everyone I know, knows where the key to my house is. Most of my family does, and Jesus is my immediate family member. I gave Him the Master key to my house, when I was about 35 years old. And He’s been my interior decorator ever since.  “So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord.”  (Colossians 2:6).

Don’t stop there. Keep inviting Him deeper into your life, into every room of your house. He knows the mess anyway, but He is a gentleman, and will not go where He is not invited. He’s waiting on you to invite Him in, and sit with you a while. You may wonder at times why you feel so lonely, depressed, still defeated by problems. You have to invite Him past the front door of your life. If you only give Him 10 percent, 90 percent will still be a mess.

It’s like when you move into a new home. You don’t leave the walls bear, or the floors dirty. You decorate little, by little until everything is the way you want it. Well that is just what Jesus wants to do with the house He’s invited into, and that’s you, if you let Him.

Let Him in to decorate, “To spread His Love upon the walls, and occupy the empty halls, until who you are has faded, and no more doors are barricaded.”

He wants a relationship with you. Not just an occasional visit. He wants the Master key. You can tell how close you are to Jesus, by how far you allow Him in to sit with you each day. He’s in my house to stay. He is a better interior decorator than I am anyway.

You want to know the most amazing thing about that? You don’t have to pay Him, He paid in full already!

Grace and peace to you
