GOD'S HOUSE

"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
King James Version

I have seen many beautiful homes on the internet and in magazines. A lot of the homes are beautifully decorated and the owners have put a lot of time and hard work into creating their homes of beauty. My sister has decorated my home. I have the best sister in the world.

When I look around my home at all the beautiful things she has given me, I am moved to tears because she loves me so much that she gave her valuable time to decorate. I thank God for my sister. I'm so glad He made us sisters. However, Jesus not only decorated my heart with His cleansing atoning blood that He shed for my sins on Calvary, He is also decorated a mansion for us in Heaven which will be more beautiful than we have ever seen. The greatest thing about our mansion in Heaven is Jesus will be there.

Gordon Jensen wrote the beautiful hymn "JESUS WILL OUTSHINE THEM ALL". It is one of my favorite hymns. "Mansions will glisten on the hills of Glory Happy reunions on streets of gold; Angel choirs singing glad praises forever But Jesus will outshine them all."

Precious Heavenly Father, thank You for loving us unconditionally and for giving Your beloved Son to die on the cross for our sins. Thank You, Jesus, for the mansions You are preparing for us in Heaven. How I long to see You face to face, dear Jesus, and one happy day I will see You face to face. Father, thank You for the privilege You have given me to serve Jesus. i pray that every person who reads the devotions You give me to write will know how much You love them. In Jesus' Name, I pray. Amen.
