Hebrews 11:13-16 NASB

13All these died in faith, without receiving the promises, but having seen them and having welcomed them from a distance, and having confessed that they were strangers and exiles on the earth.
14For those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a country of their own.
15And indeed if they had been thinking of that country from which they went out, they would have had opportunity to return.
16But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; for He has prepared a city for them.
For a variety of reasons, which I cannot go into here, I have become increasingly, and sometimes painfully, aware that I am not at home here. The Lord has been directing my attention to His return. My home is in Heaven, a permanent and beautiful home, without sin and pain, where love is perfect. Someone recently asked me how I can cope with all the frightening things happening in the world and in the US. I replied that I focus on what the Lord wants me to do, and leave the rest alone. Focus on the eternal. For spiritual help, to book a concert, or to participate in a Bible study on suffering, contact us at leewardhope@yahoo.com.
