Yesterday I read the following: “We all know that home is also where the heart is…”

Yes, that is a well known phrase. I have read it several times in the past and you have probably also. In fact, it is already twice on this blog. But I like it very much indeed!

Is your heart at home on this earth or do you belong to the company of those people of faith mentioned in Hebrews 11:1-40, who “…were longing for a better country – a heavenly one.” Hebrews 11:16 Their heart was at home in heaven.

They were “….looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God.” Hebrews 11:10; Second Corinthians 5:1

I am glad, that I also belong to those people of faith. I also admit, that I am an alien on this earth. I am a stranger on this earth. Hebrews 11:13

I used to live in Thailand from 1966-1979 and the thai people reminded us again and again that we were aliens and strangers in their country. They called us ‘Farang’. “Farang’ is the thai word for Westerners, for people with white skins.

I am also “longing for a better country – a heavenly one.” Hebrews 11:16 My heart is at home in heaven!

Where is your heart at HOME?
