Welcome home!

Are there any words in the English language that bring a better feeling to the heart of a human being? No matter what the circumstance it is ingrained into our make up to go home. Whether it is the homeless or orphan all still search for this basic thing, a place to belong. I find it interesting that as we peruse God's word we are told to be content with food and raiment. No where are we promised an earthly dwelling here on earth. Christ even forewarned early disciples that "the birds have nests and the foxes have holes" but he said that he did not have a place to lay his head! Why would a loving God not provide for this need? Perhaps it was because he wanted us to come home to Him! What a glorious and wonderful thought!

How different our lives would be if we tended to business while waiting for our trip home to be with God. How many things would we no longer worry about because this world is not our home. How much more time would we spend making sure we receive our welcome home!
