Romans 14:19 “So then let us pursue what makes for peace and for mutual upbuilding.”
Internal Strengthening, External Building!
Home but not yet
so HIS SPIRIT within…
both shelters and
keeps us till then.
Hope’s expectation
meets JESUS, as such
while we wait for HIS
winds of Redemption!
So by GOD’s righteous
gusts we are carried:
by CHRIST’s finished
work we are housed…
…in this body of flesh
meant for building
the hopes of the
“homeless”…in HIM!
As HIServant being daily strengthened through HIS WORD in order to build up the Body,

Devotional: Colossians 3:16 “Let the WORD of CHRIST dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to GOD.”
While we long for our LORD and be raptured to Glory, still! We must “occupy” in this life.
While we keep looking upwards, our actions are to continue serving sideways…
…all those who have forgotten and fallen away from HIS presence.
Romans 15:2 “Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, to build him up.”
These are the spiritually homeless whose void feels far greater than physical eviction.
So use the SWORD and SAW of the SPIRIT to construct “safe houses” for these souls.
By hourly and prayerfully carrying them to the arms of the LORD,
…eternal Hope then springs up in the Lost and is refreshed in the Found who might have fallen!
So build them up, oh my soul, and be encouraged…also!
Amen and amen!
