Where I Belong
My heart is still heavy. I am still feeling quite a bit of sadness for the Shepley's. Even though we know intellectually that God has a plan, in our humanity- this just doesn't make sense! I have been just praying fervently for Renae and the girls!!!
I heard a song today that I've heard many times- but today it held a new light. Here are the words to the chorus:
All I know is I'm not home yet
This is not where I belong
Take this world and give me Jesus
This is not where I belong
The first verse so reminded me of how Renae has probably felt this last week:
Sometimes it feels like I'm watching from the outside
Sometimes it feels like I'm breathing but am I alive
I won't keep searching for answers that aren't here to find
The answers for "Why" are not here to find! We will never have answers this side of Heaven- as to why God decided to take Noel now.
In essence- he didn't "take" him from home- he brought him TO his home. All of us that are believers and are left here on earth- do not belong here. We are not home- we are visiting- strangers- like aliens in a foreign land. It really encouraged me to think of it this way!!! We are all on a journey- and the end of that journey takes us HOME. On the front of Noel's service program- it says,
"Called Home" November 24, 2012
That indeed he was. Called HOME!! I am confident that he heard, "Well done Noel!" No more work, no more pain, no more sickness, no more being tired.......... Home is a place of rest, home is comfortable, home is where we belong. At the feet of Jesus, worshiping Him............Home!!
Philippians 3:20
For our citizenship is in heaven; from which also we look for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ:
If you have a moment- listen to this song and worship Jesus as you do!
