Home



What is home to you? While the first thing that usually comes to mind when we talk about home is a house, what is home really? For most of us, I would propose that it is more about who than where. Home is where our family is. That may be in our house, or it may be somewhere else. For our family, it is wherever we all are. Whether we are in a hotel room, on a vacation, driving in our car, at a ballgame, on a picnic... wherever we are all together is home.



Further, I would propose that for the believer, home is not a place but a person. Home can be here or in heaven... but the main point is that it is wherever He is. Because really, He is our home.



I Will Bring You Home
by Michael Card

Though you are homeless, though you're alone,
I will be your Home.
Whatever's the matter, whatever's been done
I will be your Home.
I will be your Home.
I will be your Home.
In this fearful, fallen place
I will be your Home.

When time reaches fullness, when I move my Hand
I will bring you Home;
Home to your own place in a beautiful land...
I will bring you Home.
I will bring you Home.
I will bring you Home.
From this fearful, fallen place
I will bring you Home.
I will bring you Home.

Encouraging Mondays... Poetry

The Truth About Me



Wonderfully crafted by His design (Eph. 2:10)

Eternally grafted into the Vine (Rom. 11)

Firmly engraved in the palm of His hand (Isaiah 49:16)

Radically saved by the grace that He planned. (Eph. 5:8)

Lovingly sought by the One called I AM (Ex. 3:14)

Mercifully bought by the blood of the Lamb (1 Cor. 6:20)

Tenderly pruned by the hand of the Lord (John 15:2)

Deeply attuned that He is my reward. (Gen. 15:1)

Patiently showing me I am His own (Rom. 8:14-17)

Peacefully knowing this world’s not my home (John 17:14-16)

Undeniably saying He’s coming again (Rev. 22:7)

Faithfully displaying His love to the end (Matt. 28:20)


Just a little something I wrote on February 10, 1998, in response to a Bible Study I was doing at the time.



And now a wonderful YouTube video of the song lyrics I posted a few weeks ago... Michael Card and Phil Keaggy performing
