We apply the concept of 'house' or 'home' to many things. When I leave for work, I feel as if I'm heading to my 2nd home. When I leave work, I am heading home - the place were I dwell.
I desire for God to live in my heart - to make it His home. He seems to have a lot of vacation days tho. :)
When He is not there, I must go in and clean it - sweep out the filth and dirt that has drifted in through the doors and windows. Then He returns. Muddies it all up with His grace and peace.
How do I know God is on vacation? Because my attitude, my treatment of other people changes.
This is why prayer is so important. When I pray, I feel good. Centered. Calm. God returns. It seems He is telling me a secret - He whispers, "I never left. I was in the bathroom."
He never left. Never let me down. Awesome.
Take care and may the peace and grace of God live in your heart.
