14. Our Need To Belong

It's human to want to belong.  It's in our DNA as we are created in the image of our triune God, designed for communion with Him and with one another.  People pleasing keeps us from being known not just to ourselves but unknown by others.  Our performing may keep us included, but when we realize we aren't known for being authentically ourselves, then it can feel lonely.  As followers of Jesus, we belong to the family of God.  It's not transactional like human belonging can be, it's unconditional.  God tells us in His Word “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”Practice expressing your God created self and attract the aligned people.  And the next time you walk into a room of peers/friends and feel alone ... you belong to God and He's always with you.  😉For more resources:  https://www.rhondamorales.com
