• THE LORDS DAY

  "He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in
  the shadow of the Almighty." ( Psalm 91:1 NIV)
  
  You just went out and got your mail and you are reading
  it when there is a knock at the door. Who is there you
  wonder! You look out and do not see a car so you think it
  is a salesman. You go to the door with an attitude ready
  to say we are not interested. However as you get to the
  door you notice someone with long hair and in a robe, and
  you think it is a flower child asking for money and passing
  out flowers.
  
  When you open the door you see a man standing at the
  door. He has a beard and long hair but he has a gentleness
  about him and you begin to speak to him. You ask "Can I
  help you? " He answers "How can I help you?" It is then that
  you realize who this is. It is not just some ordinary man. This
  is Jesus!!
  
  He says he would like to come in and talk with you awhile?
  How do you react? Do you stutter and say "Well not right
  now as my house is a mess and I would like to clean it
  up first." He says he wants to help you. You let him in but
  ask him not to go into a certain room because it is your junk
  room and there is nothing in there but junk! He says " but I
  want to see and live in all of your house", but you insist no
  not that room. Being the gentlemen that he is he sits down
  in your living room and tells you he has been watching you
  for many years and has helped you through many situations.
  
  You see our lives are like that. Jesus wants to come in and
  we say but Lord I want to clean up first, or Lord you can
  come in but only part ways as I have things you do not need
  to see.
  
  My friend no matter what, Jesus knows your life. He knows all
  of the dark junk rooms of your life and he does not just want
  part of your life but he wants all of it and he will cleanse you.
  
  Too many of us have things we want to hide or hang onto, but
  Jesus is there. He has already seen all of the dark rooms in our
  lives and if we will let him he will clean them for us.
