"Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.
Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God."
Psalms 90:1-2
I like the idea here of God as our dwelling place, or in other words our home. This seems to make sense with the whole idea of the premortal existence where we lived with God and our quest in this life to learn and grow through having a body, and then being able to return to God. Alma 40:11 tells us that when we die we are "taken home to that God who gave [us] life," and it meshes with the idea in Romans 8:16 that "we are the children of God." He is our home.
Today, let's think about this idea and remember that God loves us and always has a place for us, if we are willing to turn to him. That doesn't mean he doesn't want us to learn to be ourselves. That's why he sent us to this world, after all. But we always have a home to go back to, where we can learn even more than we have here.
