Visas.
Passports. 
Birth Certificates. 
There is only one way to belong.    Yes one way, and we have known this truth for as long as we have believed, for as long as we have been REALLY ALIVE. 
A Visa is a temporary stay, a visit, a document with a clear travel date and a date one must leave and return home. It’s for those who do not have legal residence, who wish to visit, who stay, but who do not stay forever.
A visa is NOT what we should ever desire.
A passport is a temporary stay, a border permission to cross, a document I sought a few years ago (one for Sydney, one for me).  We needed this document, so we could go, so we could cross the border, but more so we could return home.  A document that reveals your name, your birthdate, your sex, your age, and your home address.    Yes, a passport reveals where we belong! This allows us to travel (when the borders are open), and a passport brings us back home.  A passport gives us permission to cross over, but only for a brief time, only for a few days…..because in order to cross, in order to visit, we must already have a return ticket (in hand) when we wish to cross the border, a return date for when will be forced to go.
A passport is NOT what we should ever desire. 
A birth certificate is NOT a visit, but a stay. We each have one, a birth document, one with several important lines.  This too has our name, our date of birth, our sex, our birth location, BUT this document is so very different because a birth certificate tells the world our last name, whose we are!!!
We each have a father and a mother; a certificate of birth tells the world, and we protect this document and show it to officials when we seek a visa or a passport to travel.  A certificate of birth tells the truth……whose we are…….and we so need to know where we belong and who we call dad, who we call our Father, whose name we accept as our identity. Yes, truly, a certificate of our birth tells the world where our identity resides.
A birth certificate IS WHAT we So Need, what we Desire most…to belong, to identify with our Father, so all the world may see.

A VISA.
A PASSPORT.
A CERTIFICATE OF BIRTH.
A VISA.   A VISIT.    A TEMPORARY STAY. 
A PASSPORT.   A BORDER CROSSING.   A TEMPORARY STAY.
A CERTIFICATE OF OUR BIRTH.   A TESTIMONY OF TRUTH SHOWING WHOSE WE ARE.  A FOREVER STAY!!! 
Three documents.   All wanted, if but to enjoy life, to visit, to travel as a tourist or as a student…..this side of eternity.
Yet, we can survive and never travel too far.
Yet, we can live and never leave, never go beyond, never cross over our border.
Yet, we cannot live forever without a second birth, without God’s salvation.    We can only live here…..on earth.

The resurrection of Jesus changes EVERYTHING!!!!
We accept the truth.
We believe the truth.
We confess the truth.
We accept when we recognize that we are separated from the truth.
We believe in God’s Word that reveals how we are separated from the truth.
We confess how our sins against God separate us from His truth. 
THREE DOCUMENTS TELLING THE WORLD—–
WHERE WE BELONG,
WHERE WE CALL HOME,    &
WHOSE WE ARE & Who Is Our Father……..Forever.
I will travel home to heaven some day, on my appointed day.    My prayers, God’s faithful promise and my faith in Him as the only WAY.    JESUS. My certificate of second birth is ready.   Yes, I will travel home……..and (when I do go home) I will stay forevermore with my Father, with my God, with Jehovah God.    He is mine   &   I am HIS.

The Bible——100% truth, so evermore true—both the New Testament & the Old Testament. God’s Holy Word written for us…….for humanity.
“For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the LORD Jesus Christ;
Who will transform the body of our humble state into conformity with the body of His glory, by the exertion of the power that He has even to subject all things to Himself”    (Philippians 3: 20-21).
“Lift up your eyes to the sky.
Then look to the earth beneath;
For the sky will vanish like smoke,
And the earth will wear out like a garment
And its inhabitants will die in like manner;
But My salvation will be forever,
And My righteousness will not wane.
Listen to Me,…”  (Isaiah 51: 6-7).
So many are going home some day.  Me too.    We have our second birth certificate. We are ready.    We know that we Know that we Know that we Know…….JESUS CHRIST IS LORD.

I claim God as my Father and Jesus Christ as my Savior and God’s Holy Spirit as my guide.
