When I listened to this song this morning, I
thought of driving with my youngest daughter yesterday, to see the house
she is having built. All that was there was a pile of dirt, and I told
her I prayed over it; That they were making the right choice, that it
would be built on a firm foundation, that she would have nice neighbors,
a safe neighborhood, and so on; all the wonderful things you would want
for your kids and their first home. I remember praying this for my
older daughter too, hoping both of them would be making the right
choice, and be blessed.
Anyway,
getting back to praying over the pile of dirt. I thank God everyday that
both my girls don’t just know Jesus, they have a relationship with Him. They made the choice to follow Him the best they know how. We all are
still growing in Him, and hungry for more, until the day He takes us
home.
We really are all homeless you know... a pile of dirt, four walls in need of a cornerstone - of a solid
foundation - to be built from the ground up, (or better said, from the inside out). Jesus keeps calling us in many ways, to a Home we've been
needing, the house He’s building in us. We need Him.
If
I wouldn’t get in the way of a professional builder who knows what he
is doing when it comes to building my home, (I hope), why would I get in
Gods way? The Creator of the universe; I know He knows what He is doing. I should have faith and trust in the God who is building me and my
family.
It took me time to learn
this lesson with my family, and myself. All the questions I had. I seek Him by His Word, then step back and trust Him with my prayers. He
has been answering everything, in His time.
Jesus truly is where you find your beauty, and meaning.
Much love and peace

This is beautiful, Kim. It's probably one of my favorite ones that I've read, and believe me I've read a lot of them. That last paragraph is killer; you really do have the ability to give readers pause, (or Selah).
