Chris Tomlin - Never Lose Sight Devotional Mostră

“Home” Devotional Chris Tomlin We feel the brokenness of this world every day, don’t we? Maybe you feel it in your relationships, in a struggle you’re facing, or even in your own body. Something is off here. We don’t quite feel at home. We are always yearning for something more because we were made for something more. “For this world is not our permanent home,” Hebrews says, “we are looking forward to a home yet to come.” (Heb. 13:14) This world is not what it was meant to be All this pain, all this suffering There’s a better place waiting for me In heaven Our real home has not yet come, but we are given a taste in scripture of what it will be like: “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” (Rev. 21:3-4) In heaven, every chain is broken, every fear is gone. The things of this world that enslave us today—our sin, our circumstance, our mortality—will have no hold over us in eternity. Whatever feels broken here will be made whole in our eternal home. In the daily grind, it’s hard to remember this isn’t all there is. We get lost in the shuffle and in the mess of it all. This is why we have to intentionally stop and remind ourselves of the hope we have in Jesus, the freedom that is to come, and the home that we were made for. Knowing this, we can boldly sing: Hallelujah, hallelujah I am going I’m going home
