"Do You Need Someone To Go Home To?"

With the holidays approaching many are thinking about where they’ll spend their time off. Some have numerous options about where that will be; sadly…others will have little or none.

Numerous people around the world not only have little or no food to eat, they have no place to call home.

Needs don’t take a holiday. Either does God, I am glad to say! Let’s reach out to those who have little to eat and no place to stay—all year long. And let’s remember those who when they leave this earth have nothing to go home to.

Christians have something, someone to go home to. Jesus, God’s Son, secured not only a place for us to go when we are no longer here through His death on the cross; He also secured for us a space in that home when we choose to accept Him as Savior.

Salvation is the free gift of eternal life. It’s a gift that is give-able at all times, and its rewards keep giving long after it has been redeemed.

It’s easy for us to picture the comfort of a physical home. It’s not as easy for us to understand the comfort and peace a spiritual home can bring. But God not only provides us a place of spiritual rest, He Himself is that place of spiritual rest.

How about you? Do you need a place to rest? Jesus is a place of refuge, someone to go home to.
