Would you have to change your
clothes or clean your house before you let Him in?
Or hide some magazines, and put
the Bible out where he could see it?
Would you hide your worldly music
and put some hymn books out?
Could you let Jesus walk right in,
or would you rush about fixing up things?
And I wonder if the Savior
spent a day or two with you,
Would you go right on doing,
the things you always do?
Would you go right on saying,
the things you always say?
Or would life for you continue
as it does from day to day?
Would you take Jesus with you
everywhere you go?
Or would you maybe change your
plans for the next few days?
Would you be glad to have Him
meet your closest friends?
Or would you hope they stay away
until His visit ends?
Would you be glad to have Him
stay forever on and on?
Or would you sigh with great
relief when He at last was gone?
It might be interesting to know,
the things that you would do,
If Jesus came in person, to spend
some time with you.
It makes you wonder how our lives are
and where our lives should be.

If Jesus came to our door, He would see a cross.
Once inside He might wipe his sandals on our carpet.
The carpet embrodery says, "God Bless This Home."
In the entrance Jesus would see a bronze statue of Him.
In the livingroom is another statue of Jesus hugging a child.
If Jesus looked on top the piano He'd see a framed "Crown of Thorns" Above our TV is another fromed picture of the Light of Jesuis.
If he looked at our diningroom cabinet he would see a beautiful wedgewood reproduction of "The Last Supper."
If he went into our kitchen he would see a wooden carving above the sink that says, "Give us this day our daily bread."
He would see that we have many books in the cabinet of our study.
More than half of these books are Christian in nature.
In our computer room He would see a photo of Himself on a sailboat.
Under the sailboat it says, "Peace be still, Mark 4:39."
In our master bathroom there is scripture notes all over our mirrors.
If He walked in our bedroom He would see "Precious Moments" statues.
He would also see a cross and two framed needlepoints that have very kind words about us that would bless anyone who reads the messages.
Some of our favorite scriptures are in frames throughout our home.
If Jesus wanted to listen to radio or television we could share so many of our favorite Christian programs with Him. Many are recorded.
Yes, I think Jesus would feel very welcomed in our home.
Thank you so much for asking!
How about you? Are you ready to invite Jesus into your home?
