| “Come Home” By Billy Graham • October 21 “Our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior.” —Philippians 3:20, NKJV Once there was a widow and her son who lived in a miserable attic. Years before, she had married against her parents’ wishes and had gone with her husband to live in a foreign land. He had proved irresponsible and unfaithful, and after a few years he died without having made any provision for her and the child. It was with the utmost difficulty that she managed to scrape together the bare necessities of life. One day the postman knocked at the attic door. The mother recognized the handwriting on the letter he brought and with trembling fingers broke the seal. There was a check and a slip of paper with just two words: “Come home.” Someday a similar experience will be ours—an experience shared by all who know Christ. We do not know when the call will come. It may be when we are in the midst of our work. It may be after weeks or months of illness. But someday a loving hand will be laid upon our shoulder and this brief message will be given: “Come home.”  Hope for TodayCan you imagine more beautiful words, after a long journey through a foreign land, than the Father saying, “Come home”? It will happen for those who belong to Him. | ||
