If we were to describe life in one short phrase, we would say it is hectic. Sometimes it is exciting, full of roses and the next minute it is boring and somewhat depressing. With all of the ups and downs, it is easy to be swept up and away by the troubles of this world. But the Christian, despite all the burdens of life, must know that his true citizenship is in Heaven.
His heart and home are in one sense on earth; in an equally truthful, more exalted sense, he can sing as the chartered citizen of glory: "Who has raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ." "Whether we live we live unto the Lord; or whether we die we die unto the Lord; whether we live therefore or die we are the Lord's" (Rom. 14:8).
Knowing that we belong to a permanent home where there are no sorrows, pains or worries should lighten our burdens here on earth - whatever we go through is temporary. When the things of this world trouble you, life your eyes to Jesus and know that your eternal home is being prepared for you by your Beloved.
