Don't be afraid. Don't be worried!
If we can just believe what Jesus has said.
There is a place that has been prepared for us.
Jesus would not lie. He could not lie about that!
How can we find it to that place?
Jesus has made the way.
John 14:1-7
14:1 “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. 4 And you know the way to where I am going.” 5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?” 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.” (ESV)
Why do I let my heart become troubled? I need to rejoice in the fact that I believe in Jesus. He has never lied, never not kept a promise, and He is preparing a place right now for me! And for you! I read today something I had just glossed over before;
4 "And you know the way to where I am going"
Jesus says I need not worry about how to get to my final destination. I KNOW the way. It is through Him. He is The way. He has always been the way. He will always continue to be the way right up until that moment when He comes as my personal escort to lead me to the eternal home He has prepared.
Today:
I will rejoice that I KNOW THE WAY!
I will be thankful I have seen God, because I have seen Jesus.
I will be aware of those who DON'T know the way, and point them to the ONE who can help them find their way home.
Chasing Their Hearts,
