... the Heart is?! Ya, I think so. And these days I'm not sure where, on this earth, my heart is. I know that "this world is not my home" and I'm not supposed to get too comfortable. I understand that part. But I also know that God put me here "for such a time as this" and I need to make the most of my time here both in the spiritual sense and the earthly, more literal sense. Now I'm just not sure if I'm making sense. :)
Everyone's wandering is usually far more spiritual than they know. Some people wander in search of God. Others wander in search of their purpose once they've found God. I've said many times that I do not believe in narrowing the will of God. I think that one can be in many places or doing any number of things and still be in the general will of God and used for His service. But I think that God still has a specific will for people. We're kinda like pieces of a puzzle. We all have a place. I guess some of us just take a bit longer to find that place. In the mean time we may "temporarily fit" into a spot but it's not really where we belong long term. Thus the longing for "home". Somewhere we fit - snug, tight, comfortable.
Michael Buble sings a song called "Home". I have a love hate relationship with the song itself, but it's still a great song. No, there's no spiritual link in the lyrics. It's really about more of a romantic relationship. But it explains how the heart sometimes feels:
And I'm surrounded by, a million people I, still feel all alone, I just wanna to go home, Oh, I miss you, you know... Let me go home, I've had my run, Baby, I'm done, I gotta go home.

Hey . . . sometimes it feels a bit like home knowing someone else feels the same way as you do.
