Psalm 23:6 (the message)

"Your beauty and love chase after me every day of my life. I'm back home in the house of God for the rest of my life."

Forever. Every day that you live and breath, the extravagant beauty and over-the-top love of your precious Jesus Christ runs after you. Turn around and look behind you. You will see that despite the ups and downs of your life, the good and bad choices, the mistakes and successes, and despite, at times, you running as far away from His love and presence as possible, His love has been close to you chasing you down through it all. His relentless love is beyond anything you can imagine, and not only does the love of God follow closely behind you, there is no where you can run to escape it. And since I think we all only truly want to belong to a person and a place, the house of God-His presence in your life holding your hand and walking with you everyday- is your home. For the rest of your life you belong somewhere. You are at home with Him. Come back home to Him.
