John 14:1-3 NLT
“Don’t be troubled. You trust in God, now trust in me. There are many rooms in my Father’s home, and I am going there to prepare a place for you. If this were not so, I would have told you plainly. When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am.”

Trust in God is the cure for anxiety. In heaven, we will never be separated from Him, from His presence, ever again – even by the smallest degree. We will enjoy fellowship with Him to a depth and intimacy that we cannot now even imagine. All veils, all barriers, will be gone forever. The Lord will come and get us. “He is not slow in keeping His promise, as some count slowness. He is patient with us, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” (2nd Peter 3:9). So perhaps a part of getting “everything ready” is drawing al those who will be saved before He comes to get us. He waits till all those who will come to Him have come. To have a room in the Father’s home speaks of belonging and a close family relationship. A home is an intimate and personal setting. Jesus prepares for us a place in His Father’s home bringing us in as His brothers and sisters, as children of the Father. He also brings us into the Father’s home as His beloved bride. So we are doubly God’s children – we are Jesus’ bride, thus His children through marriage to the Son, and we are His adopted sons and daughters.
