When I was young, I felt as if I belonged nowhere. I did not fit into a society that demanded so many unethical things, and, I still don’t. However, the thing I wanted most was to move the farthest away from the village in which I grew up and so, I started saving up to purchase a house. But then medical problems arose and it was one thing after the other and before I knew it, the dream of acquiring a house went down the drain.

However, God intervened and led me to John 14:2 in which Jesus promises…
In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
Lately, the verse is once again on my heart. Sabbath worship is just a taste in this life of the joys and delight in God’s house. I do have a place to live and a bed to rest my head on when the night falls, so I am utmost grateful that God has taken my mind away from temporal things.

And this is my reply to John 14:2:
One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple.
Psalms 27:4
Because…
Lord, I love the house where you live,
the place where your glory dwells.
Psalm 26:8
May our hearts be continually set on desiring to be with the Lord.
