You Belong

We all have a core need to belong. As infants, we seek this secure belonging through our parents and caregivers, primarily from our mothers, and this attachment frames our sense of belonging throughout our lives. Join Stasi as she shares this hopeful message on what it means to belong to God, who is our El Shaddi—the One who provides all that we need, who cares for us, and who lovingly says to us, Daughter, you are mine, and you belong. God is our essential attachment, and our soul coming home.

Quote: J. I. Packer from Knowing God

 “What matters supremely, therefore, is not, in the last analysis, the fact that I know God, but the larger fact which underlies it—the fact that He knows me. I am graven on the palms of His hands; I am never out of His mind. “
