Rep Power: 1 RichardS is on a distinguished road
Default We don't belong

So here I was just plopin around the forum when I started thinking about things.
At first it was just a flux of Doubt in the Lord, How it just doesnt feel real and substancial. But quickly I was reminded of all the things that I know to be true about Him and the doubts left. But a lingering thought remained: Everything feels so... off. Like it isn't real. Then I realized, It is because I do not belong.
Sometimes the Lord feels unreal, and that is because I am still here on Earth. In this Sinful body and heart, disconnected from Him untill He calls me up or I leave this mortal coil. This worlld also feels off, unreal. and that is because I am Saved. This is a Sin filled world, imperfect and against God. And I have the Holy Spirit in me. Being Saved I belong nowhere. I am out of this world in a spiritual self, while I am not with God in a physical sense. I am divided. and will be untill I die. Being in both places, belonging in neither. Both feeling unreal to the part of me that doesnt belong there.

Heaven is our home and we are just passing through this place. We are indeed aliens in a strange land.

There's a song that says, "This world is not my home. I'm just passing through. My treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue."

Richard, never give up. Strive for Jesus everyday. Live today as if Jesus where coming.

We don't belong, correct. Jesus didn't belong. Look at the cross. Does that look like he belonged?
