This world is not our home, it is easy to forget, but it is not the case. Lately this point has become even more apparent to me. Coming home for the summer when you go to school over 2,000 miles away is different. Suddenly you are spending every minute with the closest people to you in the whole world, but who you haven't seen in four months. It's awesome to come back, but it has gotten me thinking a lot of where I really belong.
The more I have tried to figure out where I belong now, I have begun to realize how little I see clearly. Paul gives us the image of a man who stares in a mirror, but the mirror is all fogged up. He is able to see a glimpse of who he is, but it is obscured. He promises however that someday we will be with Christ face to face. While on this earth, God is continually revealing Himself to us. More every day, we learn better who He is and how much he loves us.
The exciting part though, is that this is not our home. This is merely a short time, during which we have the chance to love God and love people. Someday, we will be in Eternity with Him who made and loved us, and then there will be no glass, for we will be staring into the face of God.
This is really a great reminder. Thank you. :)
