Jesus is the missing piece for everyone. The earth
is not our true home. Our true home will be with Him. Author Randy Alcorn puts
it this way: “We think that what we want is money, sex, drugs, alcohol, a new
job, a raise, a doctorate, a spouse, a large-screen television, a new car or a
vacation. What we really want is the Person we were made for, Jesus, and the
place we were made for, Heaven. Nothing less can satisfy us.”
Jesus is
preparing a place made just for you. It will fit like a glove, match your
greatest desire, and fulfill your every longing. In the meantime, seek His
presence above all else. Spend good time with Him. Turn off the TV. Close the
newspaper. Shut out the distractions and open His Word to you. He has the words
to eternal life.
“In
My Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that
I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I
will come again and will take you to Myself, that where I am you may be also.”
John 14:2-3
If you
are unsettled, uneasy, anxious or dissatisfied, remember you are away from
home.
“If I find in myself a desire which no experience
in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for
another world.” C.S. Lewis
Father,
Your Son is preparing a place for us in our true
home. Help us to focus on the things You want us to focus on, to give to the
people you put in front of us, to listen to You above the spinning globe. You
are coming to bring us home.
Amen
