Psalm 122:1 says, 'I was glad when they said unto me let us go into the house of the Lord.' It's great that there is a house of the Lord that we can go to, but what's amazing about it is that we get to be in the house. Anybody who walks through the door is welcome and the grace of God extends to everyone no matter how far you've gone. There's home waiting. That's what this verse means to me.
