Invite Jesus In

Luke 19:5 When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him, "Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today."

Luke 19:7 All the people saw this and began to mutter, "He has gone to be the guest of a 'sinner.'"

Luke 19:9-10 Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham. For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost."

What if Jesus told you, "I must stay at your house today?"  What if today was the day your life was about to change forever? What if today was the day that you let Jesus in and began to follow Him... truly follow Him... truly allowed Him into your life? Would you invite Jesus in? Would you let Jesus set up residence in your home, in your life... in your heart?  

I encourage you to let Him in! Jesus wants to stay at your house today! He will transform your home, your life, and your heart. And Jesus doesn't want to just stay in the neat and tidy houses... He longs to come into the messy ones. The houses with past hurts, with regrets, with mistakes, with questions... 

Jesus had a divine appointment with Zacchaeus. On that day, Zacchaeus was transformed. And oh, how Jesus wants to transform us!  He wants to transform homes! Transform lives! Transform hearts! And Jesus will. It is His promise...  if only you would let Him in. Let Jesus stay at your house today. You will never, ever be the same. 

Dear Heavenly Father, I pray that You will come to our houses today. We all need You in our lives. No matter where we are on our journey with You... from not knowing You, to taking those first steps toward You, to the one who is diving deep into Your Word, to the person who knows You so very deeply, like a dear old friend. We all need You to come and stay at our house. Every day. We welcome you in. Saturate our homes and our hearts today! I pray this in Jesus' name. Amen.
