Did you ever think of home as the place
you started out from and the person you started out as? How far some
of us have come from where we started. Hopefully, most of us have
matured as we have ventured from the threshold of our childhood home
but have you ever longed to go back to the simplicity and innocence
of home? How about going back to the real “you” not the “you”,
you have groomed to please others?
Many times we to go back home
spiritually? That place of awe and wonder, you had as a brand new
believer, back before life had squeezed the joy from your soul.
Maybe you need to go back to a place of trusting and hope. God wants
you to come home!
I think God put the love of home in our
heart for a reason. It was not an accident that when Jesus was about
to leave this earth for heaven, he said “There is more than enough
room in my Father's home. If this were not so, would I have told you
that I am going to prepare a place for you?” Regardless of
popular sayings, Jesus did not say “there is room for you on the
Father's cloud” or “my Father's Universe”, He knew that just
the word “home” strikes a chord in us all.
I thought of all these things as I hung
a new picture that we bought from a local artist entitled “Road
Home”. It is a scene that leads down a winding road, next to an
old fence. At the end of this road there is a big welcoming house.
I wonder who waits in the house for the weary traveler. Is there a
grand meal prepared for this one who has come home? Is there a
special room prepared for this one who has made it down that winding
road?
I think of that special room that
Jesus is preparing just for you and me in our Father's Home! I can
almost see the light in the window that welcomes me home!
