When Jesus enters our lives, it’s like He is entering our home. We tend to invite Jesus into the presentable areas of our lives, but we restrict the messy ones as off-limits. What parts of our lives do we keep God out of? What would it look like to invite Jesus into all areas of our life?
“And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy.”
Colossians 1:18
