Wednesday's Whisper

John 14

1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

² In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

³ And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

Good morning, one and all - 'tis Wonderful Wednesday!

One of the first things I did this morning after getting up was to thank the Lord for allowing me to be home again. Yesterday, we traveled from MO to MS, and it's hard to explain how good it felt to be back where all was familiar - good to be back HOME!

There are many people in the USA who are homeless. These people have no place of belonging; they wander here and there. How truly sad it would be to not have a comfortable bed to sleep on each night, or a place to sit and chat! 

In one sense of the word, we were all homeless at some point in our lives, actually the Bible said we were "aliens"..... (Ephesians 2:12) But, the story did not end there....

But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. Ephesians 2:13

Because of the precious blood of Christ Jesus, we were brought close to Christ. He gave us a home, a place of belonging! We are no longer homeless or destitute. Now we belong to the King, we are His heirs. Awesome, isn't it?

And one day, soon and very soon, we will go to our eternal home that Jesus said He was preparing for us. No more pain, no suffering, no dying, no night. But, most of all, we will see Jesus, and we will be truly at HOME!! 

This song is one of my favorites for it speaks of our eternal home:

Home

(I believe this was written by Rusty Goodman)

Verse One

Home is where the heart is

My heart's own home

Though I never really had one to call my own

I've been given a key by the Carpenter of Galilee

With interest paid, the title's made to me

Chorus

Home, where there is no night

Home, where the Son is the light

The place I've been dreaming of so long

Loved ones there to welcome me

And His sweet face will be the first I'll see

When my journey's over, I am going home

Verse Two

Everybody dreams of going home it seems

Lately I am no exception to the rule

But home is so much than windows, walls and doors

It's a warm embrace and smiling faces awaiting you

May your Wednesday be absolutely Wonderful! Lord willing, I'll see you again tomorrow for another spoonful!
