Children In Exile...

We are children of a KING....do you ever think of that? We are royal children, we are valued, we are loved and treasured.  And yet we are exiled here on earth. Our first parents goofed really bad and now we all suffer for it...There is hope though, we can find our way home. The road map is there for each of us. For some it may involve slightly different paths than others but they all lead home if we will just follow the map we each have been given. I was just thinking how this life can get so wearisome and difficult kind of like when the prodigal son hit bottom...He started thinking about home and his fathers house. We must also do that, think of home...Think of the wonderful things that exist there. Focus on finding our way back there to HIM, to those loving, waiting arms... Our Father the King is waiting for us with open, outstretched arms...Can you imagine the joy on His face when we finally get there? We think we are going to be so happy to finally be done with all the pain, the suffering, the trials, all of our needs met, so wonderful to finally be there...But I bet His joy will be even greater than our own! He loves us so much more than we can humanly imagine and He is so carefully waiting, almost holding His breath just to see if we actually make it home...Imagine the extreme disappointment He also feels when His children turn away and are forever lost...So fellow siblings, lets all focus on the joys of making it HOME to our Dad...The one who loves us sooooo much that He even gave His only Son for us to live... As the father of the prodigal son did I know that He will have a wonderful party to celebrate our arrival...One that will last an eternity!
