This meditation was published in Worship Magazine in 1995. Bishop Richard shared it with some of those attending Thursday evening's second Invited conversation group:
God knocks at the door of my heart, seeking a home for His Son.
“Rent is cheap,” I say.
“I don’t want to rent. I want to buy,” says God.
“I am not sure I want to sell, but you might come in to look around.”
“I think I will,” says God.
“I might let you have a room or two,” I say.
“I like it,” says God. “I will take the two. You might decide to give me more some day. I can wait,” says God.
“I’d like to give you more, but it’s a bit difficult. I need some space for me.”
“I know,” says God, “but I’ll wait. I like what I see.”
“Hmm. Maybe I can let you have another room. I really don’t need that much.”
“Thanks,” says God “I’ll take it. I like what I see.”
“I’d like to give you the whole house, but I’m not sure...”
“Think on it,” says God “I wouldn’t put you out. Your house would be mine and my Son would live in it. You’d have more space than you ever had before.”
“I don’t understand that at all.”
“I know,” says God “but I can’t tell you about it. You’ll have to discover it for yourself. That can only happen if you let my Son have the whole house.”
“A bit risky,” I say.
“Yes,” says God “but try me.”
“I’m not sure...I’ll let you know.”
“I can wait,” says God “I like what I see.”
