Today’s Scripture: even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you. John 14:17 ESV
There is so much comfort knowing that we are at home with God. No matter where we are we are at home with Him. Returning from a wonderful extended vacation the comfort was exhilarating to be back in my prayer space. However, I was reminded and rewarded to know that no matter where I am, I am at home with Him.
Here in John 14 Jesus promises a home in Heaven He has prepared for us and the wonder is we can experience this homecoming wherever we are today. When our hearts are turned to Him we are home.
He removes all fear and provides all the comforts of home. Peace, love and reliance in where the Father is. Where is He? He is with us.
Are you thankful that God lives with you?
Today’s Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Son Jesus and for Your Spirit of truth that lives with me. I praise and thank You for desiring to live with me. In You I am at home. Amen

Tom this speaks to me like few other things…home. Sigh. “He removes all fear and provides all the comforts of home”. I so love this and so agree. Thank you…are you home yet? If so Welcome Home! 🙂
Thanks Robin! Yes returned home yesterday, thanks for the welcome!
He is in us when we follow after Him. Great reminder Tom!
“For in him we live and move and exist. As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’” Acts 17:28 I love how this same verse reads in the Message: “We live and move in him, can’t get away from him! One of your poets said it well: ‘We’re the God-created.'”
We Can’t get away from Him! and hopefully we don’t want to – I know I don’t!!
Amen Kimberly! Any other place robs us of His glory and joy!! So thankful He is un us! Blessings!
It reminds me of a verse I read that said where can I go that He will not find me..David wrote that. What he was saying is no matter where I go God’s face is always present I can not hide from His Presence..AMEN
Thank you Desiray! Soooo thankful He is wherever we are! In Him we live and are at home!
This was so encouraging and comforting! We are kind of like turtles . . .carrying our “home” with us, Jesus! God bless you, Tom!
Thank you Deb…great analogy…He is always with us and is our home and our sheild…ummm shell! Ha Blessings to you as you live in Him today!
