"There is more than enough room in my Father’s home. Promises about Heaven await those who trust in Christ." (John 14:2).
Christians will have a wonderful place to live in Heaven and cherish relationships in heaven even without visiting others’ dwellings.
Nothing is more often misdiagnosed than our homesickness for heaven.
