FUTURE HOMES
John 14:2-3 (KJV)
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. 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.
No
matter how large your home may be---when you
are confined to it, you are (seemingly) in a
kind of prison. You're really not, but
that's for another discussion. But God has
many MANSIONS and Jesus is literally
preparing a place for you and for me!
Isn't it amazing to realize that Jesus
has been spending 2000 years preparing this
place for us? God created the Heaven and
Earth in only six days, so
imagine what He is creating for us in
2000 years. Imagine the glorious mansion
we each have waiting for us---probably more
like cities and worlds. Wow!
But, while we our mansions are waiting for
us, let's make sure that we aren't just
taking up space here on earth while we wait
for THEM but, rather, that we are waiting on
GOD and serving Him form right where we are.
We can serve him "from the inside" in so
many ways; by prayer and intercession, by
calling or writing to people in need, by
writing poetry or prose that will be a
blessing to others who are suffering, by
getting on the internet and creating
websites that will minister to others---and
the list could go on and on.
The point
is SERVE HIM. Turn what may seem to be a
disadvantage into an advantage. You have
time, you have privacy---USE IT WISELY and
set your mind on being thankful.
Let's be
happy NOW and let our delight be in
Him. Yes, we have great promises waiting for
us in Heaven, but we have amazing promises
just waiting for us to claim right now if we
will.
