After five and a half weeks of being away, it’s good to be home. For me, home is more than just a house and an address where I live. Home is where I am known, accepted, and loved, despite my many shortcomings. Home is a safe place. Home is where you are among family and friends, those who care about you, and those whom you care about deeply. Ah, it’s good to be home! The sad reality of life is there are those who have no sense of home, no safe place where they know they are loved and accepted. Maybe that’s why Jesus wanted us to know that God desires to make our hearts God’s home. Jesus wanted us to know that God loves us. God accepts us. God forgives us. God is safe. We can be at home with God.
