Make Your Home in Me (May 25)

Quote from Open Up Your Heart by Jeff Syverson

Make Your Home In Me

Today’s Scripture Readings: Psalm 72:15-20 | 2 Samuel 7:1-8:18 | John 14:15-31 | Proverbs 15:33

Today’s Scripture Focus: John 14:15-31

Jesus answered him, “Those who love me will keep my word, and my Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. (John 14:23 NRSV)

Lord, make my heart your home. Is that the cry of your heart? Do you long for the intimacy with God that Jesus describes in our text?

Jesus tells us that intimacy with God comes through expressing our Love for God through obedience to his word and will. “Those who love me will keep my word and my Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.” As we express our love for God through obedience, he pours out his love into our hearts. God comes and make his home with us.
