So we are always confident, because we know that while we are living in the body, we are away from our home with the Lord. 

We live by faith and not by sight.

2 Corinthians 5:6-7 CEB

Many years ago we travelled to England for a short visit and went to some of the places our families came from. 

While it wasn't "home" there was some strange sense of remembering, some sense of... something...

Have you ever had that?

This word Paul uses for "home" here is "endemeo", "to be in one's own country, to be home". 

When we live by faith there can be these rememberings, a sense of belonging, of something, a sense of being "in one's own country, to be home". 

In this busy, rushing, scrolling, noisy world, it's easy to miss, or to dismiss, the remembering of a place of home. 

That sense of "home" gave Paul confidence. Confidence to face today, this world, the challenges of life, the ups and downs, joys and sorrows, to be able to live in today, knowing that there is "home", a truer and more grounding and complete home. 

So we live by faith.
