Three homes

 Did you know? I am rich!!! Rich beyond all measure!!!! I have three homes and that is something to be excited about! Let me tell you about them! 

The home I live in is a modest two-bedroom, one bath home. I have a nice back yard and a patio. While it is not a luxurious home, it  is comfortable.

The flowing scripture certainly applies to this home even in my earthly home.

 And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places;  

Now this home, is where we go to worship God with our brothers and sisters in Christ. Where we can learn more about him and can be with people that believe like we do.

Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: Ephesians 4:12

And lastly is the most exciting home of all that we as believers will one day get to experience.

.: Our citizenship, however, is in heaven, and it is from there that we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus, the Messiah.  He will change our unassuming bodies and make them like his glorious body through the power that enables him to bring everything under his authority. Philippians 3:20-21

While the photo above is just a picture of what our heavenly home may look like, it does give us hint of what that home looks like. And as we go through our days of trials and sometimes, we experience hard times, our home in heaven is an exciting and majestic place to think on. As well as this verse:

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you. Philippians 4: 8-9

No friends, I am not rich by this world's standards. But because I accepted Jesus many years ago, I am as rich as I want to be. My home is laid up in Heaven because Jesus tells me so. (John 14:2) And that is so much better than anything this world has to offer. For I am blest beyond all measure, and I am grateful to God for what I have here, but looking ahead to my faith that will one day become my sight. 

How about you? Is there a home waiting for you in God's dwelling place?

I hope and pray so.

Thanks for coming by Friends. Have a blessed rest of your day!
