Jesus, will you take second place?

Listen, I want to ask you something now. Did you ever pray for Jesus to come to your house? If you did say—if you have, say, "Amen." Sure you have. How did you treat Him when He come? Do you give Him a little place up in the attic? Maybe your sewing party's there that day. When Jesus comes to your heart, do you feel like crying; you feel like weeping out; you feel like praising Him? But what do you do with Him? You put Him up in the attic. You put it… You go up in the attic, over in a little room, or down in the cellar, and you get down there, say, "Thank You, Jesus," or something. You're ashamed of Him before your company. (Shame before your company, shame before your company.) If you are, you ought to repent today. Amen. Give Jesus first place: first place, first in life. First your best; not—not your second, your first. "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness; other things will be added." But do you let Him set back when you're—when you're talking to your boss, and Jesus comes down, and He wants you to testify to Him and tell your boss that the love of God's in your heart? Are you ashamed of Him? Do you give Him a little corner? I might ask this to Jesus: "Jesus, will you take second place?"
"Yeah."
"Would You take third place?"
"Yeah."
"Will you take fifth place?"
"Yeah, I'll come anyhow."
You think your neighbor would come if He taken fifth place? No. That's what makes me love Him, makes me to know He's [Blank.spot.on.tape—Ed.] He's the God of heaven. He'll take any place (Hallelujah.) that man will give Him. (that man will give Him, any place man will give Him in your heart.)
