I'll be home soon.

“But we are citizens of heaven, where the Lord Jesus Christ lives. And we are eagerly waiting for him to return as our Savior.” 

-Philippians 3:20

When you go on vacation, its exciting.  You're going somewhere new, somewhere unfamiliar to you. You may lay out in the sun or enjoy the snow, depending on where your real home is. This is the definition of vacation;

Vacation: freedom or release from duty, business, or activity. 

Eventually, you get homesick, you miss your parents, your siblings, your significant other, or maybe just your dog, but your heart knows where home is, and it wants to go back. 

I dont necessarily think our time on earth is considered a vacation, its more work than our real home is, but go with me on this one.  We are constantly homesick, constantly longing for our home that we have no recollection of actually being in.  So many times in the bible it talks about how we are strangers on this earth, and Heaven is our home.  It makes sense.  Today, i'm homesick.  Today, i'm craving my Savior.  Today, this world holds none of my attention.   

My heart longs for Jesus, and that is the only longing worth talking about. 

Free me from these worldly routines, Lord.  Sanctify my days and ruin me this life.  I'm yours, and so is my heart.    

When all the world is blossoming
And everything around is bursting into life
And I don't have to strain to hear the beat of Your heart

When all the world is under fire
When skies are threatening to thunder and rain
And I am overcome by fears that I can't see

If everything is Yours
Everything is Yours
If everything is Yours
I'm letting it go
No, it was never mine to hold
No, never mine

Who could command the stars to sing
Or hold the raging seas from breaking through the doors?
And tend the fragile roses with the very same hands

Everything is Yours
If everything is Yours
I'm letting it go
I am, I'm letting it go, letting go
Yeah, I'm letting it go

'Cause everything is Yours
Yeah, everything is Yours

If everything is Yours, God
And everything is Yours
If everything is Yours
I'm letting it go, let it go, let it go, let it go

It was never mine, no, no
It was never mine, never mine
[Incomprehensible] no

When all the world is blossoming
And everything around is bursting into life
And I don't have to strain to hear the beat of Your heart
