What is our dwelling place?

All things external answer to one's state and beautify the dwelling here.

Oh!—if those still on earth knew what homes await them, and how every pure thought, word and deed, every victory over self and its evils are perpetuated here, how could each soul purify itself and make ready to arise and go to the Father's house of many mansions.

No loving act—or self-denying word or deed is here crystallised into form, that is, spiritual results from earthly deeds. 

In many cases, all earthly experiences are forming the person's spiritual habitation and while in the flesh creates their future home. 

It is a revelation to us of the identity of earthly and spiritual existence. 

They are one in a far more intimate sense than we realise. It is the loveliest of all things that we on earth, hampered and heartsick, tempted and struggling, can adorn our Father's house with our victories over evil. 

The defeats, the failures do not appear here. 

Evil is temporary and does not enter into eternal habitations. If it appeared here, it would be as a shadow and spirits have no place for shadows or stains.
