Have we asked Jesus if we can abide in Him, and have we invited Him to abide in us? It is one thing to know someone, and to look forward to seeing them, and to be with them every day, but it is quite a different thing to live with that person in the same house. Living together requires that we adjust to each other’s ways, and that is exactly what Jesus wants us to do... to become more like Him. In this way we find that we begin to do the same good things that they do, but it also reveals our shortcomings to us.
