Preparing Our Place

 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. John 14:2 

To the homeless person the promise of a mansion may seem the most important, but to those yearning for our Lord Jesus it is where He has gone and what He is doing that matters most.  We may live in one house for decades, or we may move from place to place frequently, and yet we search for our place. Having worked in a real estate office for only a few years, I have already seen that no place is perfect for anyone. Everyone who buys a new home for themselves must compromise in something and as soon as they move in the future presents itself in plans for changing things. All of us know that houses here on Earth are not our place, even as we give thanks to God for what He has given us here. Jesus has the solution to this yearning for our place. Not only that, He has gone to prepare that place for us. It was a startling promise to the disciples back then, and it is the same to us now. However, this promise is as good as the One who promised it, and He has gone ahead of us to prepare that place. 

The grace and mercy of God the Father to you on this cold morning!
