All these died in faith, without receiving the promises, but having seen them and having welcomed them from a distance, and having confessed that they were strangers and exiles on this earth. For those who say such things make it clear, that they are seeking a country of their own. And indeed if they had been thinking of that country from which they went out, they would have had opportunity to return. But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; for He has prepared a city for them.
Hebrews 11: 13-16, NASB, bold emphasis mine.

Yes, how comforting to know we were born for another world!
I’ve been enjoying Psalm 84:5 lately, “Blessed are those whose strength is in You, who have SET THEIR HEARTS ON PILGRIMAGE.” I want my heart continually set on pilgrimage.
