God Promises a Home

The Israelites weren’t just promised a land, they were promised a home. Home is where we can be comfortable, where we can be ourselves, where we never have to wear a mask. Home is also the place where people will call us out when we are wrong. It is a place where we can be vulnerable, which is good, but also difficult. Home is a place of deep and profound love. It doesn’t matter whether you have been at St. Peter’s your whole life, or just a few years, or even just a single week. You have found a place where you can belong. Welcome home.
