We welcome you

We welcome you in Jesus name. 
With our heart and mouth we confess that we love you all!

This is just the coolest picture to me. It was on the blackboard at The Covering orphanage when I was there. The children enter the classroom being immediately reminded that EVERYTHING comes to them through Christ! He is first...even the WELCOME to their room is through HIM! 

Can't you just imagine these words coming from the angels of the Lord at the gates of heaven? Can't you just see them standing there, arms open, singing the most beautiful music and saying, "We welcome you in Jesus name!"  
Because you see, you can not enter without Jesus. He must be in you. He must know you personally. He is the entrance ticket!  So they sing, 
"We welcome you in Jesus name!"

I am really missing Sierra Leone today. I am preparing my heart for our talk on Monday night at First Family Church in Ankeny and then on Tuesday at ISU. God is tugging again. God is not letting my heart grow complacent. He is reminding me that He is in charge. That He starts my every day. That my welcome is only through His son!

Dear Lord...guide my steps. Help me to know exactly the steps you want me to take. Provide the resources Lord.  Give me wisdom.
