Homegoing

One day we will all return home

We will go to our 

Eternal

Heavenly 

Home

Where

God the Father

Jesus the Son

Holy Spirit the Comforter

Await us

To embrace us into His arms

God along with 

The heavenly hosts 

All the angels

Our loved ones who have gone before us

Wait for us at the gate of heaven

To welcome us

Home

For us believers

When we take our final breath here on earth

Our next breath is an eternal breath

And we are in God’s presence

Immanuel when we were on earth

Immanuel becomes reality

As God is with us

And we are with Him

Then and forever 

Heaven is our eternal home

Where there are no more 

Tears

Fears

Anxieties

Struggles

Sadness

Sickness

Loneliness

Helplessness

Hopelessness

Powerlessness

Heaven is where there are boundless

Joy

Peace

Love

Health

Togetherness

Companionship

Contentment

Fulfillment

Rest

As long as we are still in our corporal body

We experience struggles and sufferings 

There are difficulties numerous

They can feel endless

However

They are momentary 

In light of eternity

For now we only see in part

Then we shall see face to face

As we look into His 

Beautiful

Loving

Perfect 

Countenance

All our quandaries will be resolved

All our questions answered

In His

Tender

 Gentle

Comforting

Understanding

Accepting

All loving 

Eyes

and

Embrace

Christ’s arms stretched out for us in love on the cross

God’s stretched out arms welcoming us in heaven

These arms 

Embrace us

Enfold us

As God the Father 

Gives us a unique name

Tells us that we have

Ran the race

Finished the course

Completed our assignments

“Good and faithful servant” 

He’ll say

“Come into My rest”

And welcome us 

Into His 

Eternal 

Home
