For many people today, finding good housing, let alone buying a house, seems quite difficult. Renters often face high rates and few openings; buyers face inflated prices, high interest rates, and large down payments. Still, the yearning for a real sense of home is certainly a right desire.
To see this desire fulfilled, however, our first need is not for expanded material means but for a greater understanding of God's loving ways and means. Improved living conditions can be a natural byproduct of a maturing perception of one's indestructible, permanent, spiritual home—which is not only beyond the material means, but without regard to them.
This home, which we so earnestly desire and are entitled to, is actually found in God, Spirit, and is a permanently established fact. No human circumstance can deprive us of our true shelter and haven in divine Love. A first step in understanding this true home is to acknowledge wholeheartedly God's unlimited resources and man's permanently established place within Love's realm. If one looks at the material conditions, one may be tempted to accept all sorts of barriers as impossible to surmount; but lifting one's thought above the material senses to the spiritual reality, which God reveals, one sees the unlimited beauty and perfection visible only to the spiritual senses.
