May your home always be a place to refresh your spirit. I truly believe our homes should be our havens. One of the greatest compliments my husband and I ever received was when a non believer friend of ours visited our house when we first moved in and commented later how peaceful the feeling was and how he actually felt the love in the home. I knew it was the Holy Spirit and I shared that with him and he smiled. We have had friend's children stay with us and bear testimony to us later how their children left our home differently than when they came. That is the Lord. We love to arm our homes with plaques and displayed bibles and books and pictures all throughout the rooms of the house (walls, guest rooms, bathrooms) to declare the power of our Living God. There is no greater joy than to be used by the Lord for His glory and purpose. When a guest comes to your home and feels at rest and at peace and can be themselves, that is the power of God. So I encourage you and challenge you to prepare your home for yourself, for your children, for your family and for your friends and even strangers. My pool is surrounded by scriptural garden stones and signs. It is a beautiful sight and may very well be what someone needs at that time in their lives. So be a blessing to others today. For what we do to another, we do to Jesus and so when we give of ourself to another, God is so pleased. And that is enough for me. Have a blessed day in His precious name.
I dedicate this day to my wonderful Father God who blessed my husband and I with our beautiful home. We moved in seven years ago yesterday and that date marked the Lord's completion and today we declare the beginning of something new for 8 represents "a beginning". So we are excited to see what the Lord has in store for us next.
Psalm 5:12
12 For surely, O LORD, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield.
