There really is no place like home.

Joy Of Coming Home

Thank You Lord for not giving up on me.

Thank You for the light by which I see.

Thank You for all the time by the window of prayer You did wait.

Thank You for never saying to me your to late.

Thank You for cleansing and healing me.

Thank You for new life and setting me free.

There was joy in heaven when I accepted You.

There is joy each day when we meet anew.

Lord never again let me go away.

Lord keep me close to You I pray.

I long for others to come home too.

I ache for them to know You.

By This Window I Will Wait

There is a song in the hearts of parents this time of year; that silently reaches out to their runaway children. It goes like this: "I have the lights up on the Christmas tree. I have a candle lit for you and me. And by this window I will wait because upon this day I know it's not to late." I was a runaway and wished I had gone home many a Christmas; but never felt I could. By the time I got saved it was to late, my parents were dead. There was a lot of pain in realizing I could never tell them I love them, forgive them, and am sorry. There was pain in not being able to ask them to forgive me and in not knowing their forgiveness. So if any runaways are out there, no matter how old you are, it may not be to late to go home. I urge you to go home even if your not a runaway, but just someone avoiding a loved one or relative. I will say it for them. " Please come home."  But this is not what I really want to talk about. What I want to talk about is another parent. Every day a Father waits for me by a special window called prayer. I don't want to runaway from Him, but even more I don't want to avoid Him. He has all the light I need not on a Christmas tree but, in His word the bible. Father God has lit a candle for me, it is His Son Jesus. He stands by the window of my heart, by the window of prayer and waits for me. When I was a runaway from Him and my parents; I am sure He stood at that window and called out into the night (darkness of my life) for me to come home. He waited patiently for so many years. When I finally came home to Father God I was a wreck with no place else to turn. Outwardly no one could see how much of a wreck I was. But He could see. And it didn't matter to Him that I came because I had no where else to turn. It didn't matter to Him How bad I had been. From the moment I accepted Jesus cleansing, healing, love, forgiveness, and joy entered my life. I was and am finally home. I urge anyone who has been avoiding God or have runaway from Him to come back home. You wont regret it. The only way you cant go home is if you choose not to. God will love and accept you no matter what if  you will truly open up your heart and invite Jesus in. He has a great gift waiting for you called salvation and a new life. He paid a very big price for it; His life. He wants you to have it because He loves you so. Please come home.

And he arose and came to his father. But when he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him. And his son said to him, father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight, and am no longer worthy to be called your son. But the father said to his servants, bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet. And bring the fatted calf here and kill it, let us eat and be merry; for my son was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found. And they began to be merry. Luke 15:20-24
