You are my home. 


“But now, Lord, what do I look for?
    My hope is in you." - Psalm 39:7

I fall on my knees before you, O Lord. Acknowledging that I feel homeless, I long to be in the place which you are preparing for me. I feel homeless here. The Christian story is the story of homeless. Adam and Eve wandering. Moses and the Israelites wandering. Prophets wandering. John the Baptist wandering. Jesus wandering. Jesus dying. Jesus rising again. Jesus ascending to His home to be with You, God. You are showing me that you are my home. My hope is in you. So why do I continue to run in the other directions, chasing all things that will never satisfy. "But now, Lord, what do I look for? My hope is in you." More homelessness in the lyrics, "Just when I thought that I'd remain in the wasteland of my shame, that was the moment Jesus came." He sees my homelessness and He enters into this homelessness. 

"I dwell with you as a foreigner,
    a stranger, as all my ancestors were." - Psalm 39:12b 

I want to journey with you today and always, God. 

For You are my home.
