It finally arrived! The envelope desired by most. One little piece of paper just made your day. All have the opportunity to receive such an envelope, but only a select few accept it. . .only the ones who really know the host. You knew it would come, but just did not know the day! An RSVP requires a call to claim a spot an acknowledge receiving the invitation.
The piece of paper received provides details to the biggest party of the year. A loving, caring and well-liked classmate decided to host a party on their 20 acre property including a pool (all amenities imaginable), woods to ride an ATV, sand volleyball, basketball and catering by the best restaurant in town. A special room in the home is prepared for all to crash at the end of the day. You just cannot wait until this day comes!
Oh, you almost forgot about purchasing a gift for the party. The party exists to celebrate the classmate’s birthday. They turn sixteen. Pressure comes with gift buying. It must show thought and meaning. It must be one that suits them, used to benefit their life and coincide with their desires/interests. You got this! You head out to a local shopping center and purchase just the perfect gift. You wrap it beautifully and feel proud to hand it over at the party.
The day arrives. Every moment exceeds your imagination. Many of your friends arrived and some you have seen in passing at school. Come to find out, they observed the joy you displayed because of the invite and wanted to be included. They went to the host and asked to join in on the party. They were accepted without hesitation. You wish the day could continue forever. Oh, and the room prepared was immaculate, lacking nothing.
Sounds awesome, right? I want an invite to that party. All I need is to bring a gift and my day fills with joy beyond imagination. I could do that.
What if I told you such a day exists for each and every single one of us? An invitation waits for all who choose to accept it. An RSVP appears on the invitation. The Host accepts without hesitation and provides a gift for FREE! The Host prepares a special room just for you.
The RSVP includes calling out and acknowledging Him as the one true Host of your life. At that moment, you feel a change in your life. An indescribable joy consumes your days and each step taken in care to assure the path leads to the His house. Should you veer right or left, you delay progress toward meeting the Host and preparation required to enter. The gift cannot be purchased by any amount of money, work or effort. It is given freely for you to then give back to the Host. Each of us receive such a gift, but use it in specific ways to suit our Host, benefit His home and coincide with the talents He instilled within us.
We do not know when the day comes for such an event. We know it will exceed our imagination. We are not so sure who all will arrive, but we can work diligently to spread the news of such an event. Utilize the gift given while here on Earth and upon arrival at His house, you will have much to offer the Host. Others will see the joy developing in your life because you accepted the invite and responded. The people you meet will desire the same for their life. Point them to the Host so they may call out and acknowledge Him. They too will receive a gift to use daily along the path leading to Him.
Activate the gift of the Holy Spirit in your lives and seek out the gift given for your life. He instilled talents in each of us as He touched every fiber of our body in the womb and those talents allow us to be used in mighty ways to grow His Kingdom. He wrapped His gift inside a beautiful and wonderful vessel. He is proud to display this gift to the world. Find your gift, use talents instilled to complete the desired tasks and when the day arrives to enter His home, you will be amazed at how many others came because of you. Oh, and the room prepared just for you will be immaculate, lacking nothing. And guess what? . . . This moment lasts for eternity!
Keep praying harder than the devil can work.
