I often dream of owning a house, a place to call 'home'. A forever place for future grandchildren to come home to. We once owned our own house but sold it to go into ministry and I don't regret that one bit. I'm glad for the decisions we made and where they have brought us. But being 48 yrs old I would like to know that I own the roof that is over my head. We live in a lovely parsonage but our living here is dependant on our ministry being here. Yes, I would like to own a house and we are saving and saving towards that end.
The Lord understands our dreams and desires. He understands better than anyone why I would like to own a house. I don't have to explain to Him, He just knows. I know that someday, Lord willing, I will once again own a house and it will be a forever home. Every morning I get a daily Bible Scripture sent to me via the internet and today's Scripture is:
"Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also." (John 14:1-3)
Now, as you know, I don't believe in coincidence at all. I believe that my Heavenly Father spoke to me through His Word once again and assured me that someday I will have a mansion. He's already building it for me and it's going to be glorious! He loves me that much that He understands the longing of my heart and He is preparing a 'forever home' for me right now. I don't know if I will ever get a house here on this earth, I hope so, but even if I don't I know for sure that I have a home waiting for me in Heaven one day because I put my trust in Him many years ago and He has never let me down.
