I do not know about you, but I’m certain about mine. I am
going home to my father’s house. And what could be better than home. When I’m
out on vacation I get excited for all the new places I visit. I love to see
other towns and be a part of their history. But when I get back home I feel very
good. I recall a vacation of my brother and his wife’s, a trip they made to
Europe and could not make it back on time for work in more than a week, staying
at different airports; sleeping uncomfortably, eating whatever there was
available and washing up in public rest rooms, offering anything to get back
home. That could be exciting when you’re young and have no responsibilities,
but when you do and have properties of your own . . . How great to be home!
I remember a song I used to listen to a long time ago which
said: “I’m getting closer to my home.” That’s because it is exciting to get there, it
means resting when you feel comfortable in it, there’s no better place than
home. And that’s how we feel, for instance, in a place where we’re surrounded
of people who think, feel and believe as we do, like church which is our
Father’s house. And when we are in our Father’s house, everyone there is our
family. And when we are surrounded by family, we are home. If our destiny is to
spend our eternity in a place like home, then we will be joyful . . . all the
time.
Many people have told me they just do not feel good in a
certain place to have to spend an eternity there. Can you imagine having to
spend an eternity, for instance in prison? . . . Or working hard to exhaustion? Would you like to be surrounded by mean
people? Our heavenly father is inviting us to spend it with Him and assuring us
we will have an exciting time forever: but just as it is written: “Things which eye
has not seen and ear has not heard, and which have not entered the hearts of
man, all that God has prepared for those who love Him.” (I Corinthians 2:9)
Dad, on this, your celebration
month, why don’t you give yourself a present which will bring joy to all your
family by simply asking God to enter your heart so you can offer your loved ones the great destiny.
It is very easy. You do NOT have to have a fat good deeds file, nor money to
buy your way in. All you need is to ask Him to include you in the registration
list. It’s free! Jesus already paid for it.
Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your
household. (Acts 16:31)
Happy Father’s
month!
