This Teaching Clip made me think of you. Watch SUNDAY NIGHT PRAYERS - LECTIO 365 by 24-7 Prayer:
Is Jesus welcome to live with you?
Is Jesus welcome to live with you?
Imagine your inner life like a house.
The living room is messy. Thoughts are scattered like crumbs across the couch. Your worries have even slipped underneath the cushions, and every time you try to sit down and relax, you feel deep inside that you should probably clean things up first…
And then there’s that one room—maybe in the back of the house—where Jesus is sitting. What would be the logical thing to do? Sit down with Him. Right?
You know, our mistake is often believing: “Only when the entire house is clean and in order can I experience peace.”
Honestly: Will that day ever really come? There’s always another problem knocking at the door. Another failure. Another worry. Just another “unexpected situation” demanding attention…
That’s why you need to know this:
You don’t have to have peace in the ENTIRE house to experience peace WITHIN yourself.
Because Jesus, your Prince of Peace, is already there! His peace is the place you can return to at any moment… Even when your home doesn’t feel “perfectly clean.”
Just imagine stepping away from the chaos for a moment and saying, “Jesus, I’m coming to sit with You for a minute.”
That may not immediately change the entire house or situation, but it keeps you from losing yourself.
Jesus gives you inner rest, even when nothing has changed on the outside. He is the steady presence in your unstable world.
You may not be able to stop your kids from leaving crumbs all over the couch (okay… we’ll just blame the kids for now, even though sometimes it’s us too 🤭), but you can pause and say:
“Jesus, I’m sitting with You for a moment. I’m taking a breath. I’m finding peace again.”
Because Jesus promised long ago:
“Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.” (John 14:23, NIV)
What a beautiful picture. What a powerful truth.
You are a miracle!
