Out of Place

Do you ever have days when you realize how much we aren't cut out for this world? I just get in moods every once in awhile where I feel so out of place... I just don't fit in anywhere. When I first get this feeling it makes my stomach hurt, because I fear rejection, so it always kind of hurts. But then I get to thinking.. Christ made us new.. He made us saints to one day live with Him in His Kingdom. Then my hurt turns to hope. So in these little times of the day when I feel awkward, un-liked, or rejected I turn to Jesus and say... "Yeah, well, you were rejected first... so what do I have to complain about? Actually... I should be honored I don't fit here. It tells me my Home is with You." Thank goodness that's the case, because if I didn't have a permanent Heavenly home.. I would be searching and feeling out of place for the rest of my life.

I think we're in trouble if we DON'T ever feel out of place...if we're so comfortable here that we think it's all there is, or think this is as good as it gets!
