2 Corinthians 1:4 (nlt) --- He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us.
Home is a strange place, at times. But here a thought that I am having this morning about this place we call home. No, I am not talking about the place where we sleep or where our clothes are. No, I am not talking about the place we travel to a couple times a year to see family or where we were raised. I am talking about the place we find comfort and peace.
For some people, there truly is no place like home. They don't have one. There is no where they can find rest because they are always worrying or feeling guilt or the like. Peace is running from them and depression or fear is constant.
It is time to go home and to make a home. To make a place where peace and rest can and will happen. This can be real when Jesus is in our lives and when He is living through our lives. Think about it.
On my way to the office this morning I caught a song on my XM radio by Chris Daughtry (I love my radio). It is the song HOME, and here are some of the words:
I'm going home,
Back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm not running from.
No, I think you got me all wrong.
I don't regret this life I chose for me.
But these places and these faces are getting old
So I'm going home.
Well I'm going home.
There are people reading this or people around you today who are desperately looking for a place to call home. It may be that God is calling you to that place or that He is calling you to help others find that place. It is not easy. But it is a place you will treasure, enjoy, protect and so much more.
We need it bad. God is offering it to you. Offer it to others. And go home a bit.
Psalm 37:7 (nasb) --- Rest in the LORD and wait patiently for Him; Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way,Because of the man who carries out wicked schemes.
Psalm 62:5 (nlt) --- Let all that I am wait quietly before God,for my hope is in him.
Proverbs 16:7 (nlt) --- When people's lives please the Lord,even their enemies are at peace with them.
