As I think about having a building from God, a house not made with hands, the words of Jesus from John 14:1-2 begin to swell within my heart, “Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you.” My friends, as faithful children of God, we have the blessing of a hope that goes beyond this earthly life with all of its burdens and groanings (2 Cor. 5:2).
