Preparing the house!

John 14:1-4“Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me. 2There is more than enough room in my Father’s home.14:2a Or There are many rooms in my Father’s house. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you?14:2b Or If this were not so, I would have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you. Some manuscripts read If this were not so, I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you. 3When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am. 4And you know the way to where I am going.”

Ok, my mind might be in a different place with this verse. Stephanie and I have been getting OUR home ready to go up for sale. We are really working hard to simplify our lives. WE are getting rid of debt and really downsizing, liquidating our STUFF. I haven't worked this hard outside of work for a long time. I have such a full schedule. I teach during the day, tutor at night (making money for CMA RFS) and we are painting and fixing up the home. I love it and am exhausted ALL at the same time.

Jesus loves us. He is spending his eternity getting it ready for us. Sometimes I think about that beautiful place and look forward to traveling to MY REAL HOME. I am so humbled that my Father's house has a room just for me. It is perfect and designed just for me. Come Lord Jesus!  Until I take up residence in that place, I am going to work hard to make sure YOU come with me. There is plenty of room. We can ALL be in Eternity together. We just need to accept Jesus in our hearts. We do not need to DO anything else. Accept Jesus for who he is, the Son of our Heavenly Father. Repent of our sins and commit to a life searching for him. I LOVE YOU LORD!  GO TO JESUS RIGHT NOW. ASK HIM TO BUILD YOU A ROOM IN ETERNITY!
