I can say that there have been times when I have felt like I don't belong or need to remove myself from a situation. In Ohio, I had a group of friends who were believers yet enjoyed going out to bars. It seemed crazy to me and they only did it once in a while, like special celebrations. However, it even got to the point where they didn't invite me.
Here in Texas, I am very involved in a support group that isn't just believers and there are times where I just have to remove myself from the room when the conversation just gets inappropriate. I don't need to hear that stuff and I know it isn't honoring to God.
God is Holy-He doesn't sin. It makes me think of when Jesus died on the cross. He cried out "My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?" Jesus only cried that out because God couldn't look upon the sin that Christ had taken upon Himself at that moment. To me, that is a Holy God that cannot look upon sin, even on His own Son. Praise God He died for me so that I can have a relationship based on God seeing Christ in me.
Are we human, There will be points in our life where we dont belong. Well, there was a long time in my life where my life felt completely normal. I had great friends and had a great church that I went to. But being a army wife you never belong especially now I just got moved accross the contry. So at this point of my life I dont belong and once I do they;ll move me somewhere else. They like to keep us guessing :)
Yes, I do feel like I don't belong both positive and negative. The negative seem to be self-inflicted.
IE: I'm living in a town that I don't belong. Why? Because I've said I don't. I've said I'd never come back but this is where God wants me. I feel I don't belong, but I'm realizing God has a different story! The positive times seem to show themselves as the beauty of the Lord. I am set apart because He calls me to that!
God is Holy.......My first thought is that God is precious, valuable, untouchable. He is that piece in a museum behind the wall of glass. Beautiful yet untouchable!
