If people love me, they will obey my teaching.
My father will love them, and we will come
to them and make our home with them.

John 14:23

God wants to be your dwelling place. He has no interest in being a weekend getaway or a Sunday bungalow or a summer cottage. Don't consider using God as a vacation cabin or an eventual retirement home. He wants you under his roof now and always. He wants to be your mailing address, your point of reference; he wants to be your home....

For many this is a new thought. We think of God as a deity to discuss, not a place to dwell. We think of God as a mysterious miracle worker, not a house to live in. We think of God as a creator to call on, not a home to reside in. But or Father wants to be much more. He wants to be the one in whom "we live and move and have our being" (Acts 17:28 NIV).
