I've been reading Max Lucado's Great House of God, which correlates the Lord's prayer to the different areas of the house, and prayer to our earthly house.
From A Home for Your Heart, he observes:
" We create elaborate houses for our bodies, but our souls are relegated to a hillside shanty where the night winds chill us and the rain soaks us ... God wants you to move out of the cold and live with him... God wants to be your dwelling place. He has no interest in being a weekend getaway or a Sunday bungalow or a summer cottage. Don't consider using Goad as a vacation cabin or an eventual retirement home. He wants you under his roof now and always. He wants to be your mailing address, your point of refence; he wants to be your home."
