Sometimes the words of the Bible do not seem important to us. Or they do not appeal to us. But in those words we hear Christ saying in effect, “I am waiting for you. I am preparing a house for you and there are many rooms in my house.” Paul the Apostle tells us, “Be transformed by the renewing of your minds” (Rom. 12:2). We hear a promise and an invitation to a life we could not dream of if all we considered were our own resources.
