"Friends, this world is not your home, so don't make yourselves too cozy in it." (1 Peter 2:11 The Message)

His whole family walked 5-year-old grandboy to the classroom yesterday—his first day of kindergarten. As they were leaving, his 3-year-old brother/buddy burst into tears and said, "He won't have fun here. Take him home!"

What do you think of when you hear the word home, beloved? Granted, their are tragic exceptions, but for the most part, home is our safe place where the ones who love us most live.

In the book of Hebrews, the writer said, "For this world is not our permanent home; we are looking forward to a home yet to come. Therefore, let us offer through Jesus a continual sacrifice of praise to God, proclaiming our allegiance to His name." (Hebrews 13:14-15)

Jesus said, "Beloved, don't let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in Me. 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? When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am." (John 14:1-3)

Life not fun these days, beloved? Don't let your heart be troubled. When everything is ready, King Jesus will come again and take us home—our safe place where the Ones who love us most live.
