Home is not defined by four walls. I know – I sell them for a living.

I can go into any house and with a few subtle changes, make it more esthetically attractive and desirable. I am especially drawn to dilapidated homes that have been through years of neglect and disrepair. I see the potential to turn them into something beautiful. I want to watch them transform.

So it is with our hearts. Without God we will fall into hardness and brokenness. We need a fix that only comes through God to restore us to a more peace-filled life. To restore us to beauty. To bring us joy.

I plead with anyone who needs to be renewed to seek first the carpenter who will give you not just a home, but a mansion. He’s knocking at the door, please let Him in.

You just have to ask.
