The other night at our Grow group, I left the room for a while with the phrase, “Make yourself at home.” I am sure you have said it yourself.

When we say that, we are asking the person to feel comfortable, to do what they would do in their own house; to put their feet up and treat the place as if it was theirs.

Last Friday I had the immense privilege of singing with Andy Smith at a prayer day for The Message. I love singing with Andy and we are a good team. A couple of people came to share various words and encouragements and then I started a prophetic song which began with the words,
“Make Your home in me.” In other words, I was asking God to make Himself more at home in my life, my heart and my spirit; to do what He would do in heaven.

I was moved by the words that came out of my mouth without any thought from me.

Ephesians 3:17-19 says this
….Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. May you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.”

We all need God to be at home in us. We need Him to feel comfortable in every corner of our lives so that our roots will grow down deeply into His love and keep us strong.

When was the last time God was truly made to feel ‘at home’ in you?
