Are you home?

Are you where you're suppose to be? Who are you with?

As a person, we want to be belonged... to fit in. No one wants to be lost or out of place because its lonesome, sad and... it feels empty. Unwanted. Unloved. To be a nobody. Whom i also called homeless. Nobody wants to be homeless. I don't want to be... well, I'm not!

I'm not homeless.

Home, is not just about a place. Importantly it's not! More of who you are with. Home is what you call of the place where the people involved is at, a haven... You can't really see it. You just feel it!

I take it back, at some point, you can see it through other people's lives... when they are with the people whom they value most and vice versa... its a moment, a paradise for those people... where you feel accepted, trusted, and loved in the truest sense of the word, inside and out... in your worst and best.

Who has seen your worst and darkest moments yet didn't ran away... rather reached out a hand and wants you to be better!

Not just someone who will extend a hand for you to stand when you fall... but one who will walk with you, hand in hand and dares not to let go!

You see, it seems at times we fit in to a certain group but feels like we don't actually belong. We tend to do things to satisfy and get the attention of a particular person yet... it isn't enough. In that person's life or in that group you're merely... there. And when you're gone... They wouldn't even notice or care.

It's possible to experience that and to feel empty even in your own family. So how much more in other cases/groups.

In this world full of classifications and imperfect human judgments that makes us feel unwanted and insecure. Don't lose hope. Please don't.

Don't give up! Don't give up on life! Go and find strength... because i believe there's still a piece of home in this seemingly homeless world.

And that home, we should strive to seek everyday in this world... that sense of being, accepted, trusted and loved...

...can be possible only with God.

Who can love us as much as God does? as much as Christ does?

God the Father, gave us His only Son for our salvation, He loves us to that extend. Jesus died for our sin so that we will not have to face death twice.

As what I have read in tumblr,

"Jesus loves us so much that He died for you knowing that you will never going to love Him back. That's true love."

I'm sorry because I might got the words wrong but the thought is like that.

God has sacrificed so much and has done a lot for us, ...and who are we if i may ask? We are nobody. God's mere invention/creation, that's my point of view... but what's surprising is that He value us so deeply and loves us dearly.

No one in this world and not even in our lifetime can ever love us like how God loves us. Only Him.

It doesn't make sense to me, that God still loves us after all the things we have done to Him, the pain we have caused Him... It doesn't make sense to me but... That's the truth He loves us. We can never change that fact. God can't too... He is faithful and He can't deny Himself that's His nature.

Like i said earlier, home is more of the person/people you are with, someone who is there for you in joy and sadness. The challenge is during our darkest moments, one who will lift you up when you're down. At times when you can't stand, who is there to carry you. When you're having a hard time walking, one who will be your staff to support you 'till you can run.

Being home is being loved. This is the core of this message.

It is only with God that We Are LOVED! Because God is love.

Problem, pain or suffering is inevitable in this world... Tribulations are part in this thing we called life... in our earthly life. But we are not of this world. We are God's. We are His. And He is ours... our God. And our God is in heaven,

And so, heaven is our true and eternal home... because God is in heaven.

I'd like to end this with what i believe in and in what i hope for to be,

There's no other place I'd rather be than in the arms of the One who created me. That is my HOME.

If i may ask again, are you home?
