We Will Get Home Soon

In our everyday life, we seek to find solutions to our problems, yet there seems to be more problems than we can solve. How do you find this world? We often lose our dear ones through fatal accidents and sicknesses? We try each day to find joy for our souls. However, the television news is full of terrorist attacks, war, typhoons, earthquakes, and deadly virus outbreaks. The young can’t find jobs even with the highest qualifications. Take a look at your efforts to succeed in life. One may ask WHY all these troubles in our world.

Beloved, this world is not our home. We are only passing through; the home that God is preparing for us is beautiful and peaceful. There will be no more crying, sorrow or pain there. God will wipe away all tears from our eyes. All the things that make our heart grow sad will be no more (Revelation 21:4). Our redeemer will give us a place of inheritance. We will not hear of the sufferings of the world anymore.

Those who will inherit this home are those of which it is written: "3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. 5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. 6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. 7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. 8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. 9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. 10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you." (Matthew 5:3-12) Beloved, we will soon reach our heavenly home. Never give up. Give all your best in the service of the Lord. Let us join hands in the work of Christ.
