Hope-filled Sunday!Â
Happy Sunday! Here’s some encouragement for your week.
Everyone wants to feel that they belong—to be part of a group and be accepted. Yet, sadly, we all experience situations when that’s not the case.
For many, that time may have been during their teen years, where feeling awkward or out of place seems to come with the territory. It may be when starting a new job and trying to figure out where you can best blend in. Despite having the same last name, you may not have the joy others experience from belonging to a family. And as you age, you may even feel pushed aside or overlooked by those you believed loved you and would never desert or betray you. You may feel there is no one with whom you can share your joy and dreams or sorrows and fears.
While these moments may be painful and seem never-ending, it’s important to remember that all of these things are temporary. As Christ-followers, we never need to question whether or not we belong.
You are a child of God! God wants you as part of His family, and that is the most important group of all to belong to!
Everyone is welcome in God's family. Share on X
Lord, thank You for choosing me to be a part of Your family, a place where I will always know I belong. Amen.
Have a blessed day. Gentle hugs to all of you. ?
