"Don't be troubled. You trust God, now trust in me. There are many rooms in my Father's home, and I am going to prepare a place for you. If this were not so, I would tell you plainly. When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am. And you know where I am going and how to get there." John 14:1-4
I laugh when I read this for many reasons. One is because we move ALOT! I believe since G and I have been married we have moved a total of 6 times and 4 of those have been to a new town! This sign was on the U-Haul we rented and I just found it so intriguing. When I saw it, it was at a time when the reality of moving really hit me. I was about to leave a group of women that I have absolutely fell in love with, a church home where God's presence was THICK, and a home that I brought my second baby boy home to.
Second, being the me that I am, it had a deeper meaning than what was intended, a Jesus deepness!
Where WILL you go next? Though we will go many places while we are alive, there are only two places we will go that will be permanent, Heaven or Hell.
For many of us we plan out our next move, our next vacation, where we will retire and even where we will be buried. We spend months preparing, ensuring to have all the details and specifics covered. The crazy thing about all of this is how much time we spend in preparation for these events than we do in preparation for our eternal destination.
The great thing about where we will go next spiritually is how easy Christ has made it for us. He is the best travel agent, Home builder, decorator, He is free of charge and all that is required is our hearts. We will not need any boxes, we will not have to take out any loans, rent any U-Haul’s, unpack, say goodbye, or stress out about what our home will be or look like. He has already prepared it for us, plus all our brothers and sisters will be there too!!!!
I am ECSTATIC about my final destination, mine will be in Heaven with the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, it will be perfect and everything I have ever wanted. Actually it will be beyond what I could have ever wanted or imagined. Thank You Jesus!
Jesus it truly is a relief to know where I am going when my time here is through. I look forward to my forever home with You in heaven. I pray that if there is anyone reading this today who does not know where their forever home will be, that they will turn to You and that You will become Lord and Savior of their life, ensuring that heaven is their home for eternity. Amen
