I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.

John 14:3b

Lori invited me to join her and Jean for a weekend retreat in the mountains. I looked forward to a peaceful time of fellowship with two dear friends. Jean said, “Instead of meeting us at the cabin, come here the night before. The three of us will enjoy visiting as we drive over together.”

When I arrived, Jean greeted me with a hug. She’d prepared a welcoming sanctuary in her guest room with soft lamplight, bottled water, and a dish of peppermints.

Before His death and resurrection, Jesus promised He’d prepare a place for those who believe in Him, “that where I am you may be also” (John 14:3). Just imagine. Jesus is creating a perfect sanctuary where those He died to save will enjoy sweet fellowship with Him forever.

Father, thank You for the sweet fellowship I have with You now and will have with You forever. Amen.

Reflect: How can you share the peace of Jesus and His promise with someone this week?
