Invitation

There is an invitation, God cannot resist. An invitation to come to our house. Not the physical house but the spiritual house. Living inside of us in our heart and soul and spirit.

Then a man named Jairus, a synagogue leader, came and fell at Jesus' feet, pleading with him to come to his house. Luke 8:41

This invitation from a man named Jairus, he was an important man and had a high position. But his daughter was dying. Jesus was needed and Jairus invited him in desperation to come to his house.

But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole. Luke 8:50

And so she was, she was made whole. Now there is singing and praising coming from Jairus' house. This is just one of the miracles, Jesus performed to show that He is the son of God. When we invite God to live in us, we see wonderful things, changes we never thought would be possible.

Letters from God:
The old memories people have left you in are fading away like a fog. My winds will blow them away.
Every evil word spoken over you will be broken. (when He is living in us).
I will clear out all the intruders who try to bring their trash and leave it at your door. There will be singing and praising coming to your house.

I know just how that looks like. God has blown away old memories and took out the trash in my life. I am no different that anyone else to God. What He does for me, He can and wants to do for you.

Why would this great God want to come to our house? In a nutshell: Because He loves us! Just think about that. Do you not like to spend time with someone you love. But s very different thing is that God loved us even in our sin. We don't like to spend time with thieves, liars, murderers etc. We stay away from such people. Not God though, He is ever near to them too. Trying to reach their hearts in order for them to be saved for eternity. Yes they have a price to pay on earth for their crimes but the ultimate crime would be: separation from God for eternity.

My prayer today: God, may we be willing partakers of spreading Your Love to those that are unworthy, because so are we. Remind us Holy Spirit to keep the doors and rooms in our house open for You. Let us never forget the invitation You have extended to us to be YOURS forever!

Take care and good bye until next time.
