Scripture.
John 14:2-3 - In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
Meditate.
Jesus doesn't lie. "If it were not so, I would not have told you." He wants us. "That where I am, there you may be also." He doesn't leave us alone. Here he lists one of our four basic needs for physical survival. He provides us with our four basic needs for survival: food, water, shelter, and clothing. He is building us a mansion, a palace. How great and big heaven must be - there are over 2 billion Christians in the world today. If each of us gets a house...that's 2 billion mansions. And that isn't counting those people who have already died.
Absorb.
Writing out and saying the scripture out loud helps the brain remember Scripture.

Live.
I can encourage other believers that Christ makes a home for us in Heaven. I can be okay in this life, with whatever shelter I have, because I know that someday I will have a mansion. I just have to make it to the afterlife.

Lord, thank you for reminding me of my mansion in Heaven, where you dwell and where Christ dwells. When I die, I will not be homeless. Even on this Earth, I am never alone; You will always provide for all my needs, physical and psychological. Thank you for Your strong hands that built it. Thank you that you died and rose again so that I would live with you forever. Thank you, Lord. Amen.
It's as simple as that! Prayers on you as you do your own Bible study and Scripture reading.
Praying you have faith, hope, and love always,
Rachel
