Home
Of My Soul
The home I am building for my soul today will be its home
tomorrow and forever. My soul needs a little more spacious
home today than that which it occupied yesterday. It longs
to soar up a little higher, to go down a little deeper.
The home of yesterday is too narrow for today. It seeks
for a clearer vision of heaven, it longs for greater
nearness to God, it would feel a little more sensibly the
impulse of His will, and come nearer the gates of glory
and hear more distinctly the sweet music of heaven. I must
not cramp or stint this soul of mine. It must have the
fullest and freest range. My soul must have perfect
liberty to roam about amid the unseen heavenly things
regardless of the sacrifice of the house of clay. This
house of flesh must not hold it in or interrupt its flight
upward. Its wings must be free to fly upward to the
presence of God to hold sweet communion with Him. There
are yet many new discoveries for my soul to make in the
spiritual life, and it must not be hindered by the desires
of the flesh. The flesh with its affections and lusts must
be crucified that my soul may have fullest liberty today.
What I build for my soul today will be its home throughout
eternity. I must build a larger home for my soul each
