Ps. 23 [The Message]

Eugene Peterson paraphrases verse 6 like this;

Your beauty and love chase after me every day of my life. I’m back home in the house of God for the rest of my life.

I love that! As I have grown older, I have come to appreciate God’s presence as my “home.” Wherever I am when His presence is near, I am home. This life is just a tune up for the Hereafter. There’s no better way to live here on earth.

In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. [Jn. 14:2]
