If you are on an extended vacation trip, you have to pack a lot of stuff to take along. You live out of your suitcase for the length of your journey, hoping you have what you need to get by. Vacations are great, yet at some point, you become weary of life on the road, and long for the peace and stability of home.
Our lives on this earth can be thought of in this way. We are visitors here. Our earthly life is an extended trip through a myriad of experiences. We just hope we are blessed with enough talent, opportunity and circumstance to get by. If there’s a bump in the road, we try to find something in our personal suitcase to help us get through it.
But make no mistake. This world is not our home. A place has been prepared for us. A place that is meant to become our permanent residence for all eternity. Then, and only then, will we be able to unpack all of our sorrows, pain and stress. Make sure you are prepared for the day when your travels are finally over.
Amen, you are so right, can’t wait to get home. What a reunion awaits us.
