Going home? God made us to be ourselves at home and merely a guest in other places. Our. time experienced as guests here can, however, be time well spent since we cling to the security of never being far from home. Each of us possesses the potential to do great things here, in full knowledge that everything must be left behind; improved but never possessed.
Think about it. Christians are not designed to feel at home here. Rather, each of us was designed, a new man, for someplace far more comfortable in which we might find better ownership. That’s a place called heaven.
God’s Word tells us: “Instead, they were longing for a better country—a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them" (2 Corinthians 5: 16-21).
When we received the Holy Spirit through baptism into Jesus Christ, we became a new creation. We are a totally new. And because we are really “new,” we stand out from the old. As we are strangers here then, we live not for the here and now, but for the going home.
. “I pray today in Jesus name that with the knowledge that God made us for Heaven and not for earth, we live lives reflective of where we’ve come from, and where we are going. Praise the Lord. Amen!”
“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own” (Matthew 6:34) www.thispassingday.com
