“Don’t let your heart be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? If I go away and prepare a place for you, I will come again and take you to myself, so that where I am you may be also.” – John 14:1-3

Increasingly I understand that this is truly all I’ve ever wanted.

I am truly loved by many people who I also love; I am blessed deeply in so many ways. But I have never really felt like I fit in; I don’t know why. I’m even at war with myself most of the time. It is a rare moment that I truly feel at home, comfortable in my own skin, fully present, fully accepted, fully me.

But I do have a home; a true home. It is in my Father’s house. And I know more than ever each day that being there is what my heart has been longing for my whole life.
