…and I pray that Christ will make his home in your hearts through faith.
Ephesians 3:17 (Good News Translation)
Porter Wagoner (1927-2007), an American Country Music composer and singer, wrote a beautiful song titled, What Would you Do? The song’s message is important for us today as it was in 1956, when Porter wrote it.
Here are some lyrics:
If Jesus came to your house to spend a day or two / … would you meet him at the door / With arms outstretched and welcome to your heavenly visitor / Or would you need to change some things before you let him in / Like burn some magazines and put the Bible where they’d been
Porter goes on:
Would you be glad to have him stay forever on and on / Or would you sigh of great relief when finally he had gone?
Paul had a deeper imagination that Porter. His prayer for Christians was “…that Christ will make his home in your hearts through faith.” Ephesians 3:17.
How different would your life be if Christ came to live in your heart and home, permanently? Would you change your thoughts, attitudes, speech and actions?
Would you change your food and drinks? How about your choice of music? Would you watch the same movies and television programs? Would you retain your current friends? Ask yourself, “Does Christ really live in me?”
If there is anything you would change if Jesus came to live with you, change it today.
If you have not accepted Jesus as your personal Saviour and Lord, He is knocking on your door. (Revelation 3:20). Allow Him to dwell in you. He will transform you gradually into His image.
Jesus, I surrender to you today. Nothing and no one else matters.
