"The reason why I'm Broken, the reason why I cry, is how long must I wait to be with you?"
FROM "HOMESICK" BY BART MILLARD OF MERCYME
We've all felt that ache, a longing for that place. In so many ways we're homesick.
It's a familiar feeling for MercyMe frontman Bart Millard, the writer behind the hit songs "I Can Only Imagine" and "Homesick." He endured his share of painful losses - some of which he speaks about in these pages. As a result, he finds his heart divided between here and Heaven. Just like us.
But as these reflections will remind you, we will someday never have to feel homesick again. Until then, we have God's presence, His promises and His peace to comfort us.
