Movies with a happy ending often bring a tear to my eyes. However, in life, sometimes people give up hope of living happily ever after. As individuals struggle to keep a good paying job, marriages are suffering, on the verge of fading. The matrimony vows of for better or for worse are usually forgotten, erased from memories when things don’t turn out for the good.
Until yesterday, I was worried about myself, my home and where my family and I would live in the future. With bleak, broken dreams and disappointment on the horizon, my life was on the verge of collapse. Crying out to the Lord day after day, God finally answered my prayers yesterday. Lost, displaced and unsure if I would ever find a new occupational home, I now have a sense I am finally home with Amazon.
Like the peace of Christ mentioned in Philippians 4:6-7, God has released all my burdens, concerns and worries about finances. Psalm 130:3-4 expresses the joy one receives when forgiven, staked to a new homestead and leash on life. Nothing in the Bible illustrates this point more than Luke 15:17-24, the conclusion of the prodigal son. Like this immature child, everyone makes mistakes, poor decisions and acts selfishly. However, there is a God in heaven, waiting on the front porch for your return. Come to your senses now so that you will experience the pleasure of finally being home!
