“Jesus answered and said unto him,
If a man love me, he will keep my words:
and my Father will love him,
and we will come unto him,
and make our abode with him.“
John 14:23
God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, our Almighty Creator, could live anywhere He wanted. He could make His abode in the most beautiful places with the finest of furnishings, and the most luscious of gardens. And, yet, He chooses to dwell in those who accept Jesus as their Savior, love Him, and keep His Words.
I find it gloriously amazing that the Holy Creator would be willing to forgo living in the splendor and grandeur of His Creation to live in us. It takes a heart full of amazing grace to love us so much, that He is willing to step over our clutter, look over our messes, and stay with us right where we are.
Is it too much for God to ask that we love Him and keep His words in return? He promises to be with us. He created us to dwell with Him. Preparing our hearts and homes to make Him feel welcome in our residences is one way we can please our Creator with our homemaking.
“Whosoever shall confess
that Jesus is the Son of God,
God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
And we have known and believed
the love that God hath to us. God is love;
and he that dwelleth in love
dwelleth in God, and God in him.”
1 John 4:15-16
