True Home of Our Heart

It’s nothing short of a miracle that a dog that got lost 2,200 miles (3,500 kms) away could somehow find its way home 6 months later. It is both spectacular and amazing! Without maps or GPS, how did the dog do it? Perhaps that home was its natural home and thus it will gravitate towards it somehow, sooner or later.

Thus when it comes to our hearts, we as believers in the faith believe that the true home for our hearts is God. That no matter how far away we have spiritually drifted from God, our hearts will naturally gravitate towards God. That the natural home for the hearts of humans is God and hence we will naturally be drawn to God and the things of God even if we had never known God personally in our lives before. Because of the work of the Holy Spirit convicting the hearts of men and women and Jesus having died for our sins, there is a natural tendency for us to want to know God. Christ has opened up the way for us to reach the Father, the Helper is there to prompt us on.

We are shaped by the culture that we live in. Yet God, the one and only true and living Almighty God, can and will reach out to us. Even if it is impossible for some of us to proclaim His goodness publicly out in the open, we could start by proclaiming His grace and love in our hearts. Accept Jesus as our Lord and Saviour. Repent from our sins. Acknowledge that we are sinners and ask God to forgive us our sins and in our hearts, believe that Jesus Christ died for our sins and was resurrected by the Father 3 days later defeating sin and the devil. As a result we have eternal life and as we have accepted Jesus into our lives, Jesus will prepare a house for us in the Father’s house of many mansions. As God is the natural home for our hearts, it is essential that our hearts find our eternal home in heaven and that one day we will all be resurrected together to live even though we may die. It is my prayer and hope that all of us will find our way to our eternal home through Christ Jesus, our Lord and Saviour! Like the dog that was lost 2,200 miles away, we too will somehow find our true home, the true home of our heart!
