“As Jesus and His disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him.” (Luke 10:38)

The first step in encountering Jesus is simply welcoming Him in. Martha opened her home, and in doing so, opened her life to the Lord. We often feel we must get everything “in order” before inviting Jesus to be part of our daily routines—but He wants to meet us as we are. A busy house, a tired heart, or a messy schedule does not scare Him away.

Welcoming Jesus means intentionally creating space in your day for Him. That might look like starting with a prayer in the morning, reading Scripture before emails, or simply acknowledging His presence inyour daily routine.

• What areas of my life feel “too messy” for Jesus to enter?
• How can I open the door to Him today?

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, I open the door of my heart to You today. Come in and make Your home with me. Amen.
