When we accept Christ, it is like we are opening the front door to our life and asking Him in.
The trouble is that many of us want to keep Him in the entryway. We are afraid to let Him in because our house isn’t ready for visitors, especially when the visitor is Jesus. We are afraid that Jesus is going to walk around and criticize us for the mess our house is in. Actually, He already knows what kind of mess the house is in. He knows that the living space is cluttered. He knows about the closets and what they contain. He knows about all the dust bunnies under the bed. He even knows what we have locked away in that drawer. We think if we let Him have free reign to roam the house as He wants that He is going to find things about which to condemn us.
When we feel this way, we haven’t yet noticed that He is carrying a broom. He also has a mop and bucket. We didn’t see the vacuum cleaner, paper towels and windex.
See, Jesus doesn’t want to roam the house to find things to criticize. He is there to help you clean it up. The more freedom we give Him to roam, the cleaner the house is going to become.
By the way, it isn’t like He doesn’t already know what’s locked up in that drawer.
