Satisfaction of Home

Straight from my journal...

“You know, I wake up every day and at some point think… ‘I’m in Australia.’  And in the beginning I was taken aback by it but in reality it isn’t as big of a deal as I thought.  I mean I’ve been dreaming of traveling the world for years.  I still dream and plan to travel.  But the truth is, once you get the pictures taken and you’ve seen what you’ve come to see…it’s just another place.  Don’t get me wrong I completely L O V E every country I’ve visited.  However, after a while the places mean close to nothing without the people I love most.  It doesn’t have the same affect on me as H O M E.  That’s why Heaven is going to be so good.  That’s my real home.  As good as home is now…I can’t imagine what Heaven, my real home, is going to be like.  I don’t think anyone actually knows what real happiness feels like.  I bet I won’t experience real happiness until the day I get to heaven and am sitting at the feet of Jesus.  My greatest love.  Home is where we all actually belong.  H E A V E N.”

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. –John 14:3

“It actually doesn’t matter where I go in the world.  Being struck by the initial beauties and wonders just wears off after a while.  But see, home never loses its goodness.  Likewise, things of this world will only satisfy us temporarily.  Jesus is the only everlasting satisfaction.  Home is where the heart is because  home is where Jesus is.
