My dream home is a place where people’s desires, feelings, and decisions don’t define or determine their attitude, words, and behaviors. Instead, they surrender to and are led by the supernatural love and presence of God. My dream home goes far beyond domesticated religion and embraces sacrificial love, heart-to-heart connection, and ongoing obedience to the risen Jesus.
I have a dream
Of home as a place
Where people replace
Self-seeking focus
With a face-to-face
Relationship with
The living Jesus.
Christ and religion
Are not the same.
One is powerful,
The other tame.
Human analysis
With heart paralysis
Leads people to neglect
To behold and reflect,
To daily ponder
And surrender to,
The life changing wonder
Of the risen Jesus.
"But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord." (2 Corinthians 3:18.)
Jesus Christ is the most exciting reality in the world! It’s sad that church so often presents Him in a boring way. Just because an organization calls itself a church doesn’t mean that it obeys or represents Jesus. Come home to a daily personal relationship with Christ.
Have you ever read “Love Does” by Bob Goff? His life is led by the supernatural love of God.
No, I haven’t read that, but I sure like the idea of people’s lives being led by the supernatural love of God!
Nice thoughts 🙂
Thanks for the encouragement, Paul!
