. . . His Spirit in your inner self [indwelling your innermost being and personality] (Ephesians 3:16 Amplified)

Since my innermost being is home to the Holy Spirit, I want to make Him feel as at home and comfortable as I possibly can. I know how icky it feels in my earthly home when there’s tension and discord and fighting and self-centeredness. How at home does the Holy Spirit feel when I’m angry, peevish, sulky, self-centered, lonely* or at worst—when I sin, leaving dirty smudges on the windows of His house, keeping others from seeing His light shine through?

[*“Why are you lonely? Aren’t I here?” says the Holy Spirit]
