Thought of the Day!

I’ve had this poem for a long time and it has become a favourite of mine. I would like to share it with you and hope it will help you think about your relationship with God. The Author is unknown.
IF JESUS CAME TO YOU HOUSE
If Jesus came to your house to spend a day or two,
If he came unexpectedly, I wonder what you’d do.
Oh, I know you’d give your nicest room to such an honoured guest.
And all the food you’d serve him would be the very best,
And you’d keep assuring him you’re glad to have him there,
That serving him in your own home is joy beyond compare.
But when you saw him coming, would you meet him at the door
With arms outstretched in welcome to your heavenly visitor?
Or would you have to change your clothes before you let him in?
Or hide some magazines and put the Bible where they’d been?
Would you turn off the radio and hope he hadn’t heard?
And wish you hadn’t uttered that last, loud hasty word?
Would you hide your worldly music and put some hymn books out?
Could you let Jesus walk right in, or would you rush about?
And I wonder if the saviour 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?
Would life for you continue as it does from day to day?
Would your family conversation keep up its usual pace?
And would you find it hard each meal to say table grace?
Would you sing the songs you always sang, and read the books you read?
And let him know the things on which your mind and spirit feed?
Would you take Jesus with you everywhere you’d planned to go?
Or would you, maybe, change your plans for just a day or so?
Would you be glad to have him meet your very closest friends?
Or would you hope they’d 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 finally he had gone?
You know, it might be interesting to know the things that you would do,
If Jesus came to your house to spend some time with you.
Easter is a good time to reflect on God’s great love and mercy. Are you prepared for his grace and forgiveness with arms outstretched in welcome?
I pray you feel God’s loving embrace at this very special time of Easter and always.
Love and blessings,
Natalie
