I hear the voice of God beckoning me home again and again. Day after day. Come and sit with me here. Live with me. In this place, you are home.
Why is it I feel restless and homeless at times? I need never feel unsettled or unsure. Why is it that I ever worry or why do I let fear steal? I need never be afraid.
Today, He reminds me again, that it is His will, His pleasure, and His determination that will redeem me and keep me. It is He that holds me in His saving, righteous, strong hand. (Isaiah 40: 10)
I need only abide. Stay right here in Me. Live in Me. Walk every day in My presence.
Abide. Live. Stay. Remain. I will abide in You, Lord. Today, I remember.
He tells me I can remain in the place that is always a home for me... His love. (John 15:9)
His love, my warm home.
I wonder about house and home. I look around me at the four walls and the roof that keep off the rain. I do cherish these four walls---good gifts from You. Thank you, Lord.
I feel the pains of this tent that can ache with age and are weighed down by the effects of gravity. I do cherish this tent---wonderfully made by You. Thank you, Lord.
No. Not these places. This house. This body... this body is not my home.
I wonder and find myself curious about the future---all the unknown about tomorrow. I wonder about tomorrow's tomorrow.
He says, I will never leave you. Draw near to Me. Live in My love.
Yes, Lord, You have been our dwelling place, for generations. (Psalm 90:1)
This is the place I live. Your Love is my home. My always home---right now. And, yes, it is indeed a warm and cozy place to live.
