Home Is Where The Heart Is

Now we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed,
we have a building from God,
an eternal house in heaven,
not built by human hands.

For while we are in this tent,
we groan and are burdened,
because we do not wish to be unclothed
but to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling,
so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.

Now it is God who has made us for this very purpose
and has given us the Spirit as a deposit,
guaranteeing what is to come.

Therefore we are always confident
and know that as long as we are at home in the body
we are away from the Lord.

We live by faith, not by sight.

We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body
and at home with the Lord.

So we make it our goal to please him,
whether we are at home in the body or away from it.

we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ,
that each one may receive what is due him
for the things done while in the body,
whether good or bad.

(2 Corinthians 5:1, 4-10;
All scripture taken from New International Version.)

Is YOUR life's goal to please Christ?
