Coffee Talk with Christie

I John 5:21 - "Dear children, keep away from anything that might take away from God's place in your hearts."

Do I daily recognize God's place in my heart?

Do I seek to protect that place for God only?

We have a Realtor coming to our home today - and as I was reading this morning I thought about having guests in my home. (and everything being in its right place)

Could you imagine how you would feel if someone came to your home, took over your bedroom, your bathroom, your closet area, everything that you were so used to having for yourself - (without you being aware of it).

You walk in, ready to climb in bed and notice that someone else is laying comfortably in your place... how uncool would that be? It would actually be VERY UPSETTING to me.

What if God would feel the same way?

We talk to Him daily and reassure that He has a place in our hearts, then one day, we miss our time with Him, and something takes His place.

This verse stood out to me today. Maybe it will help you too.

I never want anything to take God's place in my heart.
