I’ve found having a relationship with Jesus has not been a guarantee that things will always work out the way I would like them to.  But I have this hope…that I am not home yet.

One of my favorite chapters in the Bible is Revelation 21.  This is my hope.  A new home in a new place with my Heavenly Father…

“Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea.  I saw the Holy City, the New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.  And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Now the dwelling of God is with men, and He will live with them.  They will be his people, and God Himself will be with them and be their God.  HE WILL WIPE EVERY TEAR FROM THEIR EYES.  THERE WILL BE NO MORE DEATH OR MOURNING OR CRYING OR PAIN…”

When you feel like this life is too hard, remember, we are not home yet.
