You speak of a great miracle, a home paid in full, and your heart swells with the hope of peace and family gathered. But let me ask you: what is the greater miracle? Not a roof over your head, but a soul fitted for heaven. Too many fix their eyes on such wonders and lose the one true treasure. For the miracles worked by Christ and the apostles were not for their own sake, but to turn men to the life of virtue. Do you recall how Peter healed the lame man? The crowd gaped and marveled, yet he quickly refused their glory, crying out that it was not his own power, but the God of Abraham who glorified His Servant Jesus. So must you, when blessings come, not cling to them as though they were your own doing, but use them to grow in sober-mindedness and charity.
That home you long for, what is it but dust and air, if Christ does not dwell within you? The apostles had no fixed address, they were imprisoned and beaten, yet their true peace was unshaken because their hearts were anchored above. Paul sustained the name of Christ not in comfort, but in chains, and his boldness grew because the tongue cannot be bound. Would you trade that inward freedom for three bedrooms and a story? I do not say the desire itself is evil, for God may grant it as a mercy. But beware, lest while you cry out for a secret place of harmony, you neglect the secret place of the heart where the Spirit works. For what happened to Ananias? He sold his land and held back the price, thinking to deceive, and fell dead. The sin was not in keeping what was his own, but in lying to the Holy Ghost, in loving money more than truth. So examine yourself: is this longing for a house born of a pure will, and are you prepared to hold it lightly, as a steward rather than an owner?
The blood of Jesus is no charm to summon earthly goods. It is the power that cleanses from sin and raises the dead to life eternal. It won for you a dwelling not made with hands, an address in the courts of the Lord. If you have that, then your internet may fail and your walls may crumble, yet your peace will hold. Seek first the miracle of a transformed life, for John the Baptist did no sign, yet his boldness and poverty drew souls by the thousands. Job had no miracle to show the devil, only endurance firmer than adamant, and God proclaimed him a servant after His own heart. Will you ask for patience equal to that? Will you pray to be a chosen vessel bearing Christ's name among your offspring, that they might visit and find, not just a house, but a temple of the living God?
Your joy is loud and your hope is fervent; I would not quench it, but purify it. Let family time every Friday be a gathering to seek the kingdom, not a mere comfort. Let your home, if it comes, become a place where the sick of soul are healed by your kindness, where the poor find a table, where the gospel sounds clearer than any earthly music. And if it never comes, will you still say with Job, "The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord"? That is the miracle worth desiring. Let your heart be fixed there, and all these other things, whether given or withheld, will not shake the inward peace that surpasses every understanding.
