Hebrews 13:14 For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.
If all of our hopes are placed in this world, we will be disappointed more than we will be happy.
But the child of God can rejoice in the fact that this world is not the end all. There is something better to look forward to.
We can thank the Lord that when this journey is over we have a city awaiting us were we can rest from our labors and enjoy the sweet presence of the Lord.
We may know little about Heaven, but we do know that none of the problems of life will be allowed there, Rev. 21:4.
We do know that we will be with Jesus, John 14:1-3.
This World Is Not My Home
_____________________________
This world is not my home, — I'm just a passing through — My treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue; — The angels beckon me from heaven's open door, — And I can't feel at home in this world anymore.
Chorus:
O Lord, you know I have no friend like you, — If heaven's not my home, then Lord what will I do? — The angels beckon me from heaven's open door, — And I can't feel at home in this world anymore.
They're all expecting me, — and that's one thing I know, — My Savior pardoned me and now I onward go; — I know He'll take me thro' tho' I am weak and poor, — And I can't feel at home in this world anymore.
I have a loving Savior up in glory-land, — I don't expect to stop until with Him I stand, — He's waiting now for me in heaven's open door, — And I can't feel at home in this world anymore.
Just up in glory-land we'll live eternally, — The saints on every hand are shouting victory, — Their songs of sweetest praise drift back from heaven's shore, — And I can't feel at home in this world anymore.
