Habitat for Humanity

He comes
Not for visitations
Nor extended stays
Not for sleepovers
Nor extended vacay's
He comes
Not for encounters that can be numbered
Or limited
Or contained in one moment
One thought
One memory
He comes
Not to be constrained to one sighting
One location
Or even one person to behold how beautiful He is
He comes
For a habitation
A permanent tangible expression of His presence
To take residence and dissipate
Every untruth and fallacy
Ever uttered into the atmosphere
He changes the very scene
That's been seen
So what we've been seeing is no more
And what He sees
Is all that we endeavor to know
Because
He comes to establish habitation
Allowing his preeminence to rest upon a shattered reality
Destroying temples
And in 3 days building them up
Only to exceed the appearance of former glory
That pales in comparison to what He does
Because what He does
Is eliminate all questions
Notions and thoughts
That aren't His
And allows those who have never seen Him before
To see Him for who He really is
All in the first few seconds of introductions
He's pleased to meet your acquaintance
Because He's known you all your life
That's why He's returning urgently
And permanently to the place where we are
Not to facilitate one time encounters
Two time encounters
Three time encounters
But a habitation that extends beyond eternity
And meets us where we are

Be More. Hear More. See More. Do More.
You can do anything [through Christ]
