My Purpose Driven devotional this morning reminded me to adopt an attitude of what in life is important, to remember, if you will, that when we die, we don't leave home, but we are going home. To remind myself those I miss so much, are home and I should be glad for them and not feel so sorry for myself, that I would ever wish them back here. God is so Good and His mercy endures forever. With Hope and that Blessed Assurance I really can face my tomorrows. No matter what that may bring or what it has in store, I will trust, I must choose to trust the Lord. I know in Whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him. For in my Father's House there are many, many rooms. Jesus said, I go to prepare a place for you, and I will come again, that where I am, there you may also be." Glory to God in the Highest, Peace on earth Good will to all. Let not your heart be troubled. He has come that we may have life and have it more abundantly. What really matters should be eternal, not eternally useless. (Purpose Driven Life) Do I want to lay up treasures in Heaven, where thieves cannot steal, and nothing can destroy, or am I laying up treasures here, where nothing lasts? Jesus said, For those who seek me, will find me. Is this my desire?
I am grateful for those who have gone before me, who sought to teach me His Way, the Way of Truth and Life. For indeed they have gone home, and one day we will join them. So this Christmas, I can remember with fondness their legacy and rejoice in their Homegoing. Just keeping track.
