Live In The Future

Hebrews 11:13-16
The people in days of old
died still believing
what God had promised them.
They did not receive
what was promised,
but they saw it all from a distance
and welcomed it.
They agreed
that they were strangers
and sojourners here on earth.
Obviously
people who say such things
are looking forward
to a country they can call their own.
If they had longed
for the country they came from,
they could have gone back.
But they were looking
for a better place,
a heavenly homeland.
That is why God is not ashamed
to be called their God,
for he has prepared
a heavenly city for them.
