With stay at home orders in many places and families are together 24/7, we can get on edge with one another. Husbands and wives lash out at each other. Siblings are bored and get in childish fights. Parents and teens argue.
The Bible tells us to love one another. Be quick to forgive and turn to the Lord to help with our uneasiness. He has forgiven us a multitude of sin. Let us forgive one another and show God’s love, especially at home.
Coming home after a long trip is one of the biggest blessings. Going to another Country is wonderful. The sights, sounds,smells and people are different. As enjoyable as it is, it is not “home”. When the journey is almost over and home is getting close, your heart beats a little faster, your eyes take in the familiar surroundings and what a relief. You are finally home.
That is how we as Christians should look toward Heaven. This world is not our home, we are just passing through. Jesus has gone ahead to prepare a wonderful place for us. Our final “home”. Wherever you are in life today, joy or heartache, remember we are passing through and our final home is being prepared. What joy to look forward to our Home in Heaven.
John 14:2-3 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
Coming home from a long trip is a great joy. The thought is going through my mind, I will soon be there and the excitement grows, around the next turn and I’m almost there. The first look at the yard, it’s beautiful. Going in the front door, a wonderful peace comes over me and the best thing of all my true love is there welcoming me with open arms. This is an example of an earthly homecoming.
But wait, we have an even more joyous homecoming, Heaven! We will soon be there, excitement grows,in a short time we will be there. What will be the first thing we see? Beauty. Peace. The best thing of all we will see our true love The Lord Jesus, waiting for us with open arms.
Is He your true love? Are you looking for the time when you will be going “Home”?
Philippians 3:20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ.
