Home. That word use to strike up three questions in my mind: Where is home? Is home in the US? Or is home in India? The simple word “home” made me feel so lost, and why couldn’t I figure out the answer to the question? Was it seriously so hard? No, I was just looking in all the wrong places.

                You see, last week I finally figured it out. Home is nowhere on earth. Home isn’t in the US or even India. Home is in heaven with God. I finally really understood the following verse:

“They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth. As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth.” John 17:16-19

I’m not of this world! I, Victoria Ward, am a child of God! My home is in heaven with my Father, not here on earth. The joy of realizing something so simple, was a joy I could not describe.

                So let me ask you this: How often do we get caught up in such confusion and turmoil of the world, that we cannot even realize something as simple as the location of our home? How often do we fail to recognize our identity in God as His children?

“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” Matthew 6:33
