He Will Be Back…
Today, let the reality of Jesus’ personal preparation for your arrival in heaven fill your heart with joy and anticipation. He’s not just preparing a place for you; He’s coming back to you.
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.
John 14:3
Have you ever watched someone prepare for a loved one’s arrival? The way they flutter about, arranging every detail, wanting everything to be just right. Every small touch feels like a whispered “I love you.”
Now, picture Jesus saying He’s doing the same for you. With tender care and loving attention, knowing perfectly who you are—your quirks, your joys, what makes your heart sing. The One who painted the sunsets and scattered stars across the heavens is preparing your forever home.
But what touches my heart most deeply is His promise to return. “I will come back,” He says. Not sending someone else, not leaving us to find our own way. He’ll come Himself—like a parent who’d never dream of letting their child make such an important journey alone.
When the world feels cold and unwelcoming, when you’re weary of temporary places and temporary things, remember: Someone is thinking of you, preparing for you, anticipating your arrival. And not just anyone—Jesus himself. Your forever home isn’t just a place; it’s a promise. And He always keeps His promises.
Dear Heavenly Father, Sometimes I get so caught up in the here and now that I forget the incredible future You’ve promised. Jesus said He’s preparing a place for me, and the thought of that fills my heart with such a longing for heaven. When life pulls my heart downward, lift my eyes to this beautiful truth. Let it shape how I see, how I live, and how I love. I want my heart set on You, on my true home. Thank You, Lord, for making it all possible. I love You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind.
Walk daily with God at your side!
Love always,
Ed 🙏🏼
