This Is My Home

This morning I was sitting on the couch with my middle son Micah and while we were talking and playing I decided to play some worship music on my phone. The last song I played (the night before) was “This is my home” by Jason Upton, so I decided to play it again! As it was playing I quickly felt God’s arms around me even as my arms were around my boy. I felt God’s amazing love for me as I sat there on the couch in his presence and the presence of my son.

Micah then says, “He said this is my home, that’s silly, why did he say that?” I then began to tell him that he is saying his home is with God. That when he is sensing God’s presence he feels like he’s at home. He is loved, he’s happy, he’s comfortable, it’s where he belongs! And at this I began to cry knowing that it’s real! It’s so true! It’s where we belong! Our home is in God! And so I am humbled and grateful today, thanking God for his constant love and his empowering presence. Today I thank God for the sweet joy and deep peace that I have only found in him!

Maybe it’s been awhile for you but my prayer is that today you will come home. Find rest, joy, peace and belonging in his presence today because he loves you and this is your home.

I’m praying for you,

~John
