Ephesians 3"I pray that Christ will be more and more at home in your hearts as you trust in him. May your roots go down deep into the soil of God's marvelous love." Ephesians 3:17
Is Christ at home in your heart? Have we made our hearts receptive to his presence there? Have we made room for him in our lives? The more we grow in love, the more we will see the Lord working in our lives. With each passing experience, we learn to trust God more and more. Trusting Him is a natural outgrowth of the entire process of Christian development. As we see the trials in our lives bring forth fruitage, we learn that there is nothing that God places in our lives that is not put there for our eternal good. The more we allow Christ into our hearts and lives, the more we learn to trust him and the more at home he is there. God's love should be so deeply rooted in our hearts that our Savior is at home there. Likewise love is the only soil in which our souls may grow, for it is from this love that we derive all the nourishment necessary to grow in Christ Jesus. What a beautiful picture this is! Send your roots down deep into the Father's marvelous love and as you do, you will trust him more and more. Jesus' presence in our hearts will be so right he will be comfortable there and we will be filled with his love.
Father, thank you for your marvelous love! Help me to send my roots down deep into that love. Fill me with every nourishing morsel necessary for my growth. Give me the experiences I need and teach me to trust you more and more with every aspect of my life. I long for Jesus to be at home in my heart. May he find a comfortable and welcome place within me. Let me live as he would live that glory might rise to you! Amen
