House Hunting...

House hunting is not easy, you will find tons of houses for sale or for rent in newspapers and online, but as you go and look at them, entering through the frontdoors and wandering about the rooms, one by one they just fall of your list. Too old, too ugly, too small or just too much work. They might have this one great feature, but then there are these 20 other features you don't like. Then you go through this reasoning with yourself...maybe I am too picky, maybe I should not have such a big list with wants and maybe just go with what I need, maybe...maybe...maybe. But deep in your heart you just want to enter this one house and know that you just arrived "home". A home that says, "Hey I am yours to work on, yours to make into your special place, yours to make me a place where peace and joy resounds off the walls and into the hearts of those that enter". Now to make a not to easy transition, but an important one...what if we are that house...and God is the one looking for a house to dwell in...what would He see and what would we do? First of all, God doesn't look at the outside, He looks at the inside...and on top of that He always looks with eyes of Vision and Possibility. No house is too old, to little, to ugly or to much work. He can work with any house that has it's frontdoor opened up. He wants to bring beautiful change; to re-mold, re-shape, add on, re-adjust and to bring life, peace and color into every room and space. To let the glory and essence of the "house" to shine forth from the inside-out. He wants more then anything to take each "house' and make them a "home". A home for Him to reside in, and for all other people to see that a house will always have the possibilty of becoming a home, no matter what condition it was in. Maybe your "house" ,in the natural or you as a person, never felt like "home", maybe you once felt it was a "home", but now it is just a "house". Invite God into your "house", put on the worship music, sing and pray aloud...I promise you that your "house" will start to feel like "home" as His presence surrounds you and your loved ones and because you openend up your frontdoor and invited God to come.
