At Home in God’s Love

by Idelette McVicker

Make yourselves at home in My love.” –John 15:9 (Msg)

I have lived in three countries and in many different places. For many years I was on a quest to understand what it means to be home. Home used to be the place where I grew up; later it became the place where I rested my head at night. After I got married, it became the life I shared with my husband.

Home may carry many different meanings for those who have crisscrossed the world. But even those who have stayed home all their lives, may not have come home yet.

Jesus makes it very simple. He says, “Make yourselves at home in My love.” We don’t need to go looking for home; we may simply come home to Jesus. He invites us in. Because of His great love, He has already prepared a place for us. Come in, today. Open the door wide and enter into Love.

Reflect:

- Where are you standing in relation to Jesus today?
- Are you at home in His love yet? If not, is there anything keeping you from entering   in?
- What is it?
- If you already know the Love of Jesus, what is He saying to you today?

Prayer:

Thank you, Jesus, that You have gone to prepare a place for me. I have a home in You, in Your everlasting arms of love. I come today, to be scooped up and embraced in your love. I am here, Your child. Amen.
