We often mistake a HOME to be a House Of Mirth and Entertainment built with four walls. We struggle so much to build a colorful and beautiful home spending all we have in our lives. But we fail to realize the fact that a building of people can never be called a home. A true home is also built with the four walls but the walls are Love, Peace, Patience and Selflessness. Faith forms the very base of this home and understanding bridges the gap between every brick and piece of wood.

A true home is filled with divine silence where in, only His footsteps are heard to the ears of eagerness; a holy rhythm is heard all over the house no matter what time of the hour it is. It will truly be called a home only when we live as His children under one roof hacking the roots of selfishness, ego and hatred from our hearts for ever. He is there waiting to see this great divine change in us while living on this earth plane.

God is happy only when we live our lives as per His dream. When He created us all equal, why should we discriminate ourselves? The great eternal truth is that there is the divine spark in every being and that spark is no one but God residing in our hearts. See God in every being in order to get rid of any differences our eyes search for. The hunger of any person born anywhere is the same; the thirst is also the same and so are the blood and death of every human being. Then why create and live in differences? Why not create heaven at Home?

A home is not merely a house. It is a place of residence for God as is our heart. When we start to feel the presence of God at home, it slowly turns into a divine mansion of God; it becomes a healing place where in any being who enters such a home gets healed. The great power thus transforms itself from the people living in such homes into the home they live thus making the home itself a sacred residence. A HOME then becomes a Heaven Of Moral Existence. No wonder you will then be eligible by all means to reach your final Eternal Home- the Heart of God after your body perishes. Will God then not smile with pride for creation an immortal soul as you?

There are some lovely thoughts here. Just recently I heard that Charles Spurgeon preached a message calling Jesus our landlord. Your story reminds me of that since the home you write of can never be found without Christ.
