I have chosen you out of the world, so you don’t belong to it. John 15:19 (tlb)
Have you ever enjoyed staying at a hotel, cabin or even a tent for a few nights, and then you went home. You turned the key and stepped into your home. “Oh, it’s so good to be home!"You say out loud. And you really feel it. You were excited to begin that dream vacation, but it's great to be home again!
I know. I have felt it. I have lived in this house 62 years! That’s quite a record, don’t you think? But the house shows it’s 62 years. That’s okay, I show my 62 years too. First of all, I need to put in a new electrical system. I mean the house, not me. I need new legs, that’s almost as difficult as a new electrical system, wouldn’t you say? There is more that I could say about the house and me, but I’ll keep them to myself. after all that old house and me, we are entitled to keep some secrets.
Jesus said we won’t need a house if we are a believer. He said a mansion is being prepared for us once we have left this earth. Now won’t that be wonderful? I’ve never lived in a mansion, but it will be fun. And it also says in the Bible that our bodies will change at the twinkling of an eye. That means not only will I have a mansion but I’ll have new legs too. Isn’t that wonderful?
I have heard it said that as we get older, we yearn for our Heavenly home. I believe that is true. but It seems difficult for me to leave this old house. And I hate to leave my children, grandchildren, and my three great grandchildren. But the Bible also says I will be safe in the arms of Jesus and I can’t think of anything better than that, can you?
