A Guest that Isn’t Like a Fish

Guests that stay too long often end up like fish — it stinks. But there is a guest who will reside with you forever. In fact, He will even help your remodeling project!
Moving to Houston we looked for a new house. We found a structurally sound residence but it needed extensive remodeling. We first had to live somewhere else before we could make it our permanent dwelling.
The Bible tells us that God does just the opposite with us. The moment we believe in Christ as our Savior the Holy Spirit indwells us. We become a new residence through whom God will do his work. But he doesn’t wait until after the remodeling is done, He indwells us to bring life transformation to our mortal bodies. It is the Spirit of God, the same spirit that raised Jesus from the dead, who now lives in you. A new resident with new life indwelling a new house—even you.
Don’t worry — He will not ever seem to be staying too long. You will continue to make room for Him — and it never stinks.
Remodeling by the Holy Spirit
Romans 8:11
