A Heart With a Place to Belong

My dear son,

Today I want to share my desire to have you with me for a long time. There is room for my children in my house. Let your hope reach beyond what you can see immediately before you.

Jesus promised to prepare a place for you and bring you to be with him. You can trust before seeing every scene of the future. Lean on the love that longs to welcome you home and share life with you.

Tell me tonight about any worry or joy. Looking toward our everlasting home, cherish the day you are living now as well. Rest comfortably tonight within your Father's love.

With all my love,
Your Father

John 14:1–3

WEB

1“Don’t let your heart be troubled. Believe in God. Believe also in me.
2In my Father’s house are many homes. If it weren’t so, I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you.
3If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will receive you to myself; that where I am, you may be there also.

A short reflection

Jesus reassures his troubled disciples that his Father's house has many dwelling places and that he is going to prepare a place for them.
