Want to go home.......

[chadishere07]

I have a question, have any of you just had no desire but to go home for the past couple days maybe weeks?Because thats what I've been desiring everyday lately is to just go home and everyday I find myself wanting to hear that trumpet more and more, just wondering all your thoughts on this.:thinking

hello! I found a wonderful devotional a while back that really helps with this. I often feel the same thing- and when I read this from Morning and Evening devotional online, it really helped and challenged me. It makes you ask yourself, "do i want to depart and go home in order to be with Christ, or to escape my painful trials?" wow. I find myself that the answer is sometimes one, and sometimes the other reason. This devotional from spurgeon challenges us to submit to God's will for our lives, knowing He will take us home when it is "enough"- when it is the right time. In the meantime, we can glorify God down here, in the midst of trial, toil, suffering...

You are not at all alone on this. You'll find many here that are quite ready to hear the trumpet. Someone put it well in another post: I miss feeling "ok" with this world. ..:faint.. Which clearly shows that things here are not ok.... and the way things are going, the worse they are going to get. I find it extremely difficult to keep my focus on what I have to do here or find much joy in worldly activities... its a deep longing to go home and be in a place that is so much better. I know we have work to do for the kingdom and the darker this place gets, the more apparent that becomes.

When I watch the so called news, it basically makes me ill. All the junk that is going on. When that trumpet does sound, we will be more than ready! Can I get a witness? :yeah

oh, I forgot to answer your Q- like Victor I've been wanting to go home for the last 10 years.:nod
When it is the right time, He will return for us, or call us home.:hug

Just another thought that may help. As believers, we strive (or are supposed to) have the heart of Christ, to be more and more like Him. The more refined the light is against the darkness (evil and good) in our world, the more we hate sin and can understand how He feels about it. It should also increase our compassion for the lost. All the more Christ-like. :)
