[Discoveries] 07-14-07 A bigger place

[Inspiration in Your Inbox]

I want to publicly congratulate my brother Dan and his wife Cindy on 
their 25^th wedding anniversary.



*I go to prepare a place for you ... -- John 14:2*

Jesus tells us that He is preparing a place for us. But I would like to 
suggest that He is also preparing a place for Himself.

Most of us would like a bigger house. We sure would. It seems like our 
house can barely contain our family of six, our school, work and ministry.

We may imagine heaven as the bigger, fancier house that we want. And we 
may be right in part. But let me suggest another possibility.

Heaven is a bigger house for God.

Where does God live? He lives inside you. As Pastor Cho said, "His 
address is your address."

God desires to fill us with His Spirit. We usually think of this from 
our point of view. We ask questions like: What will that look like? Or, 
How do we know that we are filled with God's Spirit?

But think of it, for a moment, from God's point of view. How do we get a 
great big God inside a little tiny person? Doesn't it get cramped in 
there? Does He have any room at all to move around?

God needs room. So He fills our lives with experiences - many of them 
designed to give Him more room. Yesterday, I spoke of the line in our 
hearts. Why is God so intent on moving that line? Could it be that He 
wants more room - more room for Him to enjoy you, and more room for you 
to enjoy Him?

Be encouraged!
Dwight
