“Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him.” Ephesians 3:17 (NLT)

Christ will make his home in your hearts

Lord Jesus, come live with me.

I want You to feel welcomed in my heart.

To find a warm inviting place to dwell.

To be so close to the center of my being.

To make a home in my heart.

Lord Jesus, I put out the welcome mat of trust and watch for Your arrival.

I am in awe and humbled that You actually want to reside within me.

I anticipate light, laughter, and lots of love to fill every chamber of my heart. I don’t want to hide anything from You.

Come and stay awhile. No, what I mean to say is: come and stay with me eternally.

Not as a guest, but reside here forever.

My home. Your home. One.

My heart. Your heart. One.

May our hearts beat as one.
