At a crucial transition time in her life, a Christian woman cried out to the Lord, despairing over the lack of spiritual power she was experiencing in her life. Suddenly she sensed Jesus standing beside her, asking, "May I have the keys to your life?"
The experience was so realistic, the woman reached into her pocket and took out a ring of keys. "Are all the keys here?" the Lord asked. "Yes, except the one small room in my life."
If you cannot trust ME in all the rooms of your life, I cannot accept any of the keys."
The woman was so overwhelmed at the thought of the Lord moving out of her life altogether, she cried, "Lord! Take the keys to all the rooms of my life.
Many of us have rooms we hope no one will ever see. We intend to clean them out someday, but someday never seems to come. When we invite Jesus into these rooms, He will clean them and restore them. With Him we have the courage to throw away all the junk, and He will fill the rooms with His love and peace and joy. His grace beautifies the rooms and He makes Himself at home there.
And the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will Himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. I Peter 5:10.
Excellent blog and thank you for sharing. Jesus is the keeper of my soul and he can feel free to clean out any rooms in my heart.
