“If you consider
me a believer in the Lord, come and stay at my home,” and she prevailed on us.
What a great invitation
– inviting the Lord to come and stay in our home. It is not just believing or getting to know
Him, but also accepting Him in our household and in our hearts. Accepting Him as our Savior and never again
be separated from Him now and forever.
And no more asking ourselves, “where am I
and where am I going”.
The question, "To whom shall we
go?" suggests that we do need someone to whom we may go – most of the
time, for help or to ask for favor. We
should soon realize that joining Jesus is not fun. Joining Him means being at constant struggle to
overcome the devil for Satan will never allow that to happen. We would be tempted constantly.
Jesus did not come to this earth to make it
a better place to live, to offer fun and recreation to mankind. He did not die upon that cruel cross in order
for man to have a good time. He died to
save us. Where else will we find one
such as HIM? Here is one who can lift us
above the things of the world. Here is one who can lift us through bad
surroundings, through failures, through difficulties, through trials. Standing alone we may not be able to succeed,
but with Jesus by our side, we can.
Let Him come and stay. You, and I need, someone to whom we must
go. Someone who is dependable and
trustworthy. Someone who can meet our
every need. Jesus is the answer. He offers what no one else can offer. He can give you hope. He can bestow upon you spiritual
blessings. He can give you freedom from
sins. He can bring you home to the Heavenly Father when our days on this earth
are finished.
Let us pray +
Almighty Father, only You can satisfy our
needs. Only to you shall we go. For your Spirit gives life; the words You
have spoken heals us. We accept Your
invitation of being in Your love forever.
Sing to the LORD a new song of praise in the assembly of the faithful.
