OUR HEAVENLY HOME
Heb. 13:14 For this world
is not our home; we are looking forward to our city in heaven, which is yet to
come. NLT
I am so grateful today
that this world is not my home. I look
around me and it is not the kind of place I want to spend eternity in. It is getting more blatantly evil all the
time. There is no regard for life
throughout the world. People do not
respect one another and treat one another with cruelty. It is a very self-driven world. It is essentially the survival of the fittest
and those who aren't fit are squashed by those who are stronger.
God promises us an
eternal home that is free from all traces of sin. Sin will not even be a concept in
heaven. It will be a place where the
glory of God will fill every space. It
will be a place where pure love for one another will be the only way we will
act. Everyone will be on equal footing;
there will be no favoritism there. It
will be a place of such beauty that there are not words to even describe
it. The Lord is there right now
preparing a place for us in it.
Jesus told us to not
let our hearts be troubled by the things of this life. Live in fellowship with the Lord, striving to
be holy in all you do, and you will be home someday. We may not be spared the troubles of this
life, but it will be worth it all when we get to heaven to be with our
Lord.
Keep your eyes fixed
on Jesus and you will make it. Don't let
the world draw you away from Him. Don't
let yourself be attached to what is here.
This world is not our home!
