“For this world is not our permanent home; we are looking forward to a home yet to come.” Hebrews 13:14
I remember long ago when my family and I would be making a long trek home from a trip from grandma and grandpa’s house there would always be the echos in the back seat yelling, “are we there yet?” Of course, after about the first time hearing these words, they became old and annoying. You and I are on a long trip home. There are days when it seems that we will never make it. You see, this world is not our permanent home. We are heading in the direction of something much more pleasant and a place of comfort and full of peace and joy. We are headed to heaven to live an everlasting life in the arms of our Jesus. We will leave behind us all the pain and suffering we now know. We will enter a place full of trust and love. There is no sickness, no lies, no cheating and no one who is not pure. Only those who have received the free gift of Jesus will be there. There are times when we may wonder if heaven is real and whether we will be there some day. The doubts of this world try hard to pull us from heavens grasp. However, we are just at the edge. Our time is short, and we must live our lives while on this earth as such. We must live one day at a time and as though there is no tomorrow. You see, heaven is real. Our God is real, and our Jesus is real. Our trip is getting shorter with each breath we take every day. We must trust, we must love, and we must live with joy and not fear in our lives. We must live with the strength of the Holy Spirit and be obedient to his many commands. Our trip is getting shorter. Are we there yet? Almost! We must be patient and stay the course. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
