Me and my family have moved several times in the past six years, and it was hard. We just got moved into our new home, and I hope it is the last time we move for a long time. I'm not going to lie, there were many nights that I cried because I was selfish and was only thinking about me and where we were staying at the time. I never stopped to think about Jesus and how he went through the same thing. Yet, He never complained. In Matthew 8:20 it reads," And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head."
Jesus Himself didn't have a place to lay His head. I picture Him staying at friend's homes, maybe with the family of some of the disciples. Jesus wasn't concerned about not having a home, and He wasn't upset that He lived in lots of different places. He knew that God was going to provide for Him. God provided everything I needed, not everything I wanted necessarily, but He took care of me. I learned how selfish I am, and how unselfish I should be considering everything He has given me.
Walking in Grace,
Abby
