"Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus" (John 11:5).
I've heard it said, "Jesus does not have favorites but he does have intimates." Martha, her sister Mary and Lazarus definitely had a very special love relationship with Jesus Christ. What was it about this family that brought them into such an intimate relationship with Jesus? In Luke 10:38 we learn that when Jesus came into their village they received him into their house. In their house Jesus was made to feel at home. Jesus desires to be at home in your life. He wants us to experience that his love is better than life. He will come and knock on the door of your heart, but he will not force his way in. We must open the door and let him in. Jesus said, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Rev. 3:20). Has Jesus made himself at home in your house? Is he welcome in every area of your life? Open the door of your heart and life to Jesus and you will know a love that truly satisfies.
“Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.” Psalms 1:1-3
