--Heaven / Our Home Sweet Home ~~

--"For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come.
---[Hebrews 13:14]

--I RECENTLY saw a decorative sign with the familiar message "Home Sweet Home." I smiled as I thought of spending eternity with Jesus. That message carries a whole new mean since my life became transient. In the last year, I've averaged about only half of each month at home due to ministry travels and time spent with family.

Nowadays, home is where I touch base between trips, where I pack and unpack my suitcases, and where I catch up on emails before heading out again. Don't get me wrong, please. I love the life Jesus has entrusted to me. It gives me many opportunities to see where He's working around the world. I consider that a privilege. However--a little piece of my heart yearns for the day I'll put my suitcases away.

No longer will I need packing lists lest I forget something important. No longer will I wait in airport security lines or fear losing my passport. No longer will I need to get up early, head to the gym, hoist weights so I can stay strong enough to lift those fifty-pound suitcases!

Someday my transient lifestyle will end. I'll move to my permanent home in Heaven and stay put for a long, long time. The yearning in my heart to settle down will be satisfied once for all.

That sounds enticing, but meeting Jesus face to face will beat it all! He's ready and waiting to welcome me home. "Enter in, my faithful servant . Enter into to the joy of the LORD."

Is heaven your real home too? If not, it can be. Acknowledge that you are a sinner, ask Jesus to be your Savior, and give Him control over your life. Imagine the joy of hearing "Welcome Home, My child!"
