Have you ever longed for home? Maybe it's just been a long day at work or school. Maybe you have been traveling or camping for a few days and just can't wait to get back. Maybe you've been away at college for a while. Or lived far from family and longed to see them again.
There is just something comfortable and comforting about being home, with familiar people and things.
Have you ever longed for your Heavenly home? It's not something I can remember experiencing until I also experienced some major depression. I remember an intense longing for my Heavenly Parents and for the comfort, relief, and love I knew I would find in their arms.
At times staying faithful and enduring has seemed almost too hard and the longing for home was too fierce.
How thankful I am to know though that the end will come. The end of the sorrow and the suffering and the pain. And that through patience, the heartache will be overcome. And we will be able to achieve that rest and that and joy and peace. We just need to hold on.
