Our Dwelling Place


Sunset Reflections by Dee Kamp 
 
Our Dwelling Place

 

 If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My father will love him,

 and We will come to him and make Our home in him.”

 John 14:23 NKJV


Our home is familiar to us. No one has t to tell us how to locate our bedroom, where to find what is in the kitchen or the way to go for our favorite place to rest. After a hard day of scrambling about in this world it’s so nice to come home to a place we know well, feel safe and comfortable.

God can be just as familiar to us. With Him we can feel comfortable, restful and find sweet peace.

God wants to be our dwelling place, our abode, our home. He isn’t found in a place faraway but His favorite place of all― inside our heart.

So many things may be happening at once in our lives that we may hardly have given thought of God at all.  But there is never a moment He isn’t thinking of us. God isn’t a vacation home, a holiday home away. His promise is He is we will forever find our home in Him.

“Teach us to escape the worries of the world, to live and rest in You”. ―Harriet Crosby
