A HOME OF LOVE

“Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.”

John 14:1-3 KJV

There are many children who are afraid of their parents because the parents get drunk and beat their children.  It breaks my heart to know that children have to run and hide from their parents.  These children do not have a home, they live in a house because without love, it is not a home, it is only a house.

Years ago, a little boy came to my door and asked me if he could come in because he was afraid his parents were going to beat him again because they were drunk.  It broke my heart to know this precious little boy was afraid of his parents.  We have a loving Heavenly Father and we don’t have to be afraid of Him.

Jesus is preparing a home of love for us.  There will be peace there and we don’t have to be afraid because we will be with Jesus for all eternity.  Think about it!  We will be with Jesus Who loves us so much He died for our sins.  What a privilege it is to be loved by the Saviour of the world.  O how I love Jesus.

Heavenly Father, I pray for every child and for every person who lives in fear of being beaten, yelled at or cursed.  Please comfort and encourage them as You have comforted and encouraged me so many times.  I love You so much and I appreciate all You have done for me.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
