• These all died in faith, not having received the things promised, but having seen them and greeted them from afar, and having acknowledged that they were strangers and exiles on the earth. For people who speak thus make it clear that they are seeking a homeland. If they had been thinking of that land from which they had gone out, they would have had opportunity to return. But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared for them a city.

  - Hebrews 11:13-16

  i had jotted: they were homesick for a land they had never seen
  

   

  "If they had been thinking of that land from which they had gone out, they would have had the opportunity to return."

  As i am homesick for new york and for people who love me.. i have the opportunity to return

  but i left for something better

  i am going towards something better

  i followed Him here, and will continue

  a stranger and an exile now

  but soon a heavenly homeland

  by faith, my Lord will bring me home.
