This morning I was listening to worship music on a Christian Radio app and heard a song I hadn't heard before. It is called "HOME" by Planetshakers. I've never heard of this Planetshakers either, but I love this song. Especially the last lines :
HOME
Now, My heart is open now
Your Love advances breaks my defenses down
Go, Jesus I'm letting go
Your grace is greater than every failure
Now I'm coming
Home
I know I am home
Safe within my Savior's arms
Right back where I belong
Home
I'm forgiven home
I hear heaven's angels sing
Father you welcome me
Fall, Father You broke my fall
Your mercy found me wrapped arms around me
Now I'm coming
Now I'm running
I'm running, running into Your arms
I'm running, running into Your heart
Your presence is my home
I'm running, running hands lifted high
I'm running, running heart open wide
YOUR PRESENCE IS MY HOME
YOUR PRESENCE IS MY HOME - What an amazing concept and truth. I've read and heard so many times that missionaries especially don't really have a "home" because we have roots/connections with at least 2 different countries/places. And I know there are many others that for various reasons don't feel like they have a "home." But what encouragement and peace it is to truly know that our home is in God's presence. We can seek Him while here on this earth and He always draws us near. But to look forward to the day we are truly HOME when we join Him in glory. What a great assurance for our feeling of flux and non-groundedness. I want to make this a motto/anthem for my life. To remind me to not seek contentment in material comfort, but in His presence alone.
