- If you were the Innkeeper would you hang a NO VACANCY sign on your door?
- Would you have made room at the Inn for the King to come into this world?
- NO WAY
- ABSOLUTELY
hang our NO VACANCY sign every day and hide inside
our Inn while the Holy Spirit patiently knocks on the door of our hearts.
- "Look, I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in and we will share a meal together as friends". Revelation 3:20
When God created you, He did so with a specific
purpose and a plan. He placed in you desires, gifts
and talents so you could carry out His Kingdom
plans while you are on this earth. He created your
heart to be a home for the Holy Spirit yet sometimes
we shut him out.
When you consider what an honor it is that the
Creator of the Universe would choose us to be
his messengers, how foolish we are to turn down
his calling on our lives.
We all have excuses why we turn a cold shoulder or deaf ear toward God. I find that most of us are either afraid to fail God, feel we are not worthy to do His work or are afraid to take on such an awesome responsibility.
The beautiful thing is, all He requires is a wiling vessel.
He will do the work. He will direct our steps, He will speak through us and He will prepare the minds and hearts of those He sends our way.
- "Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit," says the LORD Almighty. Zechariah 4:6
If we could only grasp the plans He has for us, radical plans, beyond our wildest dreams. The type of plans that would have us jump out of bed at the crack of dawn every morning saying, Here I am God, send me!!!
So....as the Innkeeper of your heart, won't you consider
making a room available for the Holy Spirit this Christmas season? Or better yet, maybe you will surrender ownership of
your Inn to Him?
After all, hasn't He already paid the mortgage in full?
Tidings of comfort and joy to you and your
loved ones this Christmas.
