I AM THE CREATOR OF THE Universe, Yet I Choose To Make My Humble Home In Your Heart. It is there where you know Me most intimately, it is there where I speak to you in holy whispers.
Dear Jesus, This is more than we can fathom - that Someone so great and majestic would choose to live in people like us, who are so small and sinful. Our minds almost recoil at the thought of Your perfect holiness living in us. Indeed, we are an exceedingly humble home for You. It helps to remember that though You live in us, You also inhabit the highest heavens. Someday we will behold You in the courts of heaven, where we will see You in all Your Glory.
We are thankful You are willing to live in our hearts, because we deeply desire intimacy with you. However, we are weak, easily distracted by the noise of the world. Help us hear Your whispers in our hearts. Amen.
Beloved, you do well to struggle with the thought of My holiness inhabiting your body. That shows Me you have some understanding of the absolute unity of My Being. Nonetheless, be assured that your sinfulness cannot taint My holiness. The influence goes the other direction. My righteousness purifies you! Delight in this blessed transaction, gratefully receiving My goodness.
You need stillness - outer and inner - to hear My gentle whispers in your heart. Find a quiet place, where the noise of the world is minimal. Then, focus your mind on this verse, "Cease striving and know that I am God." Be still, let go and relax in My Presence, while I commune with you in holy whispers.
- Jesus
