This World Is Not My Home!!

I'm sure we all know the old hymn, "This world is not my home, I'm just a-passin' through...". When you sing or think of this song, do you really believe this?? Are you glad this world is not your home?? I don't know how you feel, but I'm SO thankful this world is not my home!! The older I get, the more complicated life seems to be at times. This week has been trying, not to me, but for a few of my friends. I see Satan attacking friends and family, and I long for the day when no one will be attacked ever again. There are things in this world that make me crazy, and I just keep holding out for the day when I, nor you, will have to deal with the trials of this world ever again. Can you imagine living in a perfect world where we will not have to deal with people treating us unfairly, or any kind of sickness or sorrow, no stress, no financial struggles, etc. Fill in the blank, I know if you're breathing, you can fill in your own blank to what you will not deal with when we are home with Jesus. I long for a perfect world, I long to be in the peace of Jesus' arms, and not have to see my friends or family going through so many different struggles. Sometimes I feel overwhelmed by the sadness that I know my friends or family are going through, and there just doesn't seem to be anything I can do but pray for them. I try to stay upbeat as often as I can, but truth is?? We all hurt, we all have rotten days, and we all hurt for the ones we love who are going through trials. It's just life, and this week has just been one of those weeks for me. I often wonder why my life seems to go so smoothly when I look around and see so many hurting around me. The only thing that keeps me going through all the storms is knowing, this world is DEFINITELY NOT MY HOME!!! I praise God that this life is not the end! I've been reading several books on Heaven lately, of people who have had near death experiences, I read their joy and how they all say, "I can't wait to go back. I just don't belong here...", that is exactly how I feel, and I have not had a near death experience, but I do not belong here. My soul longs and thirsts for another home. A home that will be perfect, and one we will never grow tired of. So what about it?? Do you hold on to this world and try to make it your home, or do you long for something better?? A place where all is peace, and where we will all be one. I can honestly tell you, if God called me home today, I would be MORE than ready, and I would never look back!! I hope you all have a blessed day,keep your eyes above and always remember, this life is temporary...this world is NOT your home!! God Bless!
