Have you ever thought that God is our home. This is an image frequent in the scriptures. He is not only our final resting place, to be with him eternally, but he is our place of refuge in the present moment. God makes us a place of his dwelling, sharing his divine life, so that we may make him our eternal dwelling. The home is a place of love, a place of comfort and security, a place of rest. If we are resting in the Lord now, if we are finding comfort in the Lord now, if we are not resting in the Lord now, how can we expect to be with him after this life? When God becomes our place of return after our labors, then we will find true refreshment from our labors. Did not Jesus invite us to come to him in the midst of our labors and difficulties and find the grace of the moment? Make God our home and he will make his home ours.
