Yesterday we looked at how Jesus is at home in our hearts. Today, we look at how we are at home in our hearts. Sounds counter intuitive, but actually its easy for us to be absent from where we are for all kinds of reasons.
Have a look at the table below. In the blue column our home paradox (that home is both here and out there) is described. In the green column is a definition of what it means to be at home in the Lord both here and out there (in Heaven). In each of the red columns are some of the dangers we face when we are captured by misplaced fear or love. Only Jesus perfectly dwelt in the green all the time. The rest of us start in the pink bits and learn to move increasingly to the green centre.
Which of the four pink areas do you most identify with at the moment? Why? What do you need to know about the goodness of God so as to bring change?
