Home

You and your spouse are just waking up. You talk. You smile. You share intimacies reserved for no one else.

The kids are playing in your backyard. They run and bounce with an endless energy. Their laughter seems to intermingle with the soft clouds and sunlight.

You’re in your dining room with close friends for dinner. You rave about the food. You share stories. You tell silly jokes. The house is full of friendship.

Home. What’s on the wall, the furniture, the people, even the mess—it’s yours. It’s where you can be you. Home is where life is most personal.

You’re in your private room. You tell God what you can tell no one else. You ask for His guidance. You feel His presence and His comfort.

Home is wherever the cares of the world have no hold.

Jesus [said], “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.” —John 14:23
