DO WE BELIEVE HIM

“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

We say that we believe what Jesus tells us but do we really believe Him?  Do we really believe He has prepared a place for us in Heaven?  If we do believe it, why do we worry about living in a big home here on earth when we are going to live in a mansion decorated by Jesus Himself?

There are huge beautiful houses in magazines decorated with beautiful expensive furniture and other things but no house we have ever seen or ever will see can compare to the mansion Jesus is preparing for us.  Our mansion in Heaven is filled with His unconditional love and we will be with Jesus for all eternity.

I live in a two bedroom trailer and I have turned one of the bedrooms into an office that I use when I type the devotions God lays on my heart to write.  The trailer needs painting.  There are ugly stains on the walls and when I first moved here the stains really bothered me.

However, one day as I looked at those stains they reminded me that Jesus loved me even when my heart was ugly and stained with sin.  I like to see those stains now because they remind me that Jesus loves me so much that He died on the cross for me.  My sins have been cleansed by the redeeming blood of Jesus.

Thank God for His Love and for the redeeming blood of Jesus that cleanses the stains of sin and ugliness from our heart.
