Now the one who prepared us for this very thing is God, and God gave us the Spirit as a down payment for our home.

2 Corinthians 5:5 CEB

This very thing?

Living in this world that though designed and created by Him, while full of beauty and goodness, is marred, marked, messed with, being consumed, worn away and used up, just like us. 

There is a new home, 

a new bod, where all the damage is undamaged, where all the hurt is unhurt, where all that has been marred and marked and messed with will be undone. 

And the Spirit is our deposit. 

I'm not sure that living this life is quite like paying the rent or the mortgage, but it is to be lived. Lived in all its joy and sorrow, beauty and limits, scars and goodness, drought and flourishing. 

We can step into today knowing that there is more. 

And that we are Beloved.
