Creating a resting place for Himself

In the same manner in which we clean and prepare
our homes in the anticipation of welcomed guests
and family members this Christmas season, let us
also prepare our hearts in anticipation of the
Lord's coming. Christ, our most honoured and eagerly
anticipated guest, desires to meet with us in a
heart prepared for his arrival. So eager is he
to meet with us that he offers to help us with our
spiritual housecleaning, working with us; creating
a resting place for Himself within our hearts.
