“Home” is an extra-special word. There are many ways of describing it and defining it. Simply said, home is the place where we belong. 
 
Thirteen years ago, we bought a house with a floor plan we liked. The sellers had lived in the house for ten years. When we walked through the house for the first time there were many things about the way the house was furnished and decorated that we didn’t like. It wasn’t us! 
 
On moving day we immediately began the process of making the house our home instead of someone else’s. Today, the house has been fully transformed into our home. It’s the place where we belong.
 
In John 14:23 Jesus makes an amazing statement about those who love Him. He tells us that He, His Father, and the Holy Spirit will come and make their home with us. How is that possible? Why would God feel at home in your heart or mine? Actually, it’s as simple as this…God is at home in you because that is where He belongs!  
 
The next time the enemy tells you that you don’t matter, that you are worthless and without value or purpose, turn your faith to this one affirming truth—God made you for Himself, and when you received His Son, God moved in and made Himself at home in your heart because that’s where He belongs.
 
 All things were created by Him and for Him.

 Colossians 1:16 KJV

Jesus replied, “All who love me will do what I say. My Father will love them, and we will come and make our home with each of them..." (John 14:23 NLT).
