No Place
We were busy enough as it was. All these people, coming home to register. Just two more? Well I suppose we can squeeze them in, but these are definitely the last two!
We had a nice life, settled, sorted – just going along. But letting that couple in that night changed everything, nothing was ever quite the same again afterwards.
We opened our lives, and after what happened here, our hearts too – and somehow, without us realizing, God moved in. Jesus came here. How could things ever go back to how they had been?
New life was born here, changed priorities, opportunities presented, hope re-kindled. And with that welcoming of God, came a whole rush of other people to welcome too…
Lord, your coming changes everything.
I thought life was ok,
but then you burst into it.
And everything is somehow different,
even when it appears the same.
You have brought your life,
your hope,
your presence.
As I welcome you
may I make room,
and allow you to have an impact
on what you find there.
