Home. Home can mean many things to different people, and bring up various emotions. Home becomes our 'root base' in life and should and be a warm and safe place to be.
I have just completed my last major trip for this year. Traveling is amazing
and educating to be sure, but there is no place like home and I am very glad to be home! My home is where my roots re - mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Home is my place to be me and to relax, safe. Home is filled with wonderful family, amazing friends, a welcoming church to belong to.
What is your home like? Do you need to change something or overcome something to make it a place for you? There was a time when home was dismal for me, depressing, stressful and uncertain. It took me awhile to change things and to overcome issues that prevented my peace and my life from prospering, but I did manage it. Now, this doesn't mean that home will not contain conflicts, disagreements, stresses, forced changes, and maximum growth, because it will. Even living alone will require some growth and changes in your home and in your life. Sometimes these things do not seem to make sense and the growth is painful. Still, there is no place like home.
Did you know that someday you will obtain a perfect home, free of conflicts, pain, disappointments, and challenging issues? Well, it is just around the corner!
This particular home requires membership into the Family that provides it.
You must know Jesus as your Savior and your Lord first. Romans 10:9 "That if you confess with your mouth that, "Jesus is Lord", and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved."
John 14:2-3 Jesus has said, "My Father's house has many rooms If that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you,? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you with me that you also may be where I am."
And 2 Corinthians 5:1 "For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven not built by human hands."
We have a perfect future home to just be ourselves, to be safe and loved and accepted. In the meantime we have an earthly home to take care of and be good stewards in. If your home s out of order, ask the Lord to show you what to do and how to do it to get order back. One key is for you yourself to be in order with God the Father first, through Jesus Christ and under the power of Holy Spirit.
Home is a good place to be. The Lord will help you if you but ask:
Psalm 34:4 "I sought the Lord and He answered me, and delivered me from all my fears."
I am thankful to be home and to have an abundant life in Christ Jesus!
Acts 17:26 "From one man He made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and He determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live."
