Dear friends, I urge you, as aliens and strangers in the world, to abstain from sinful desires, which war against your soul.
1 Peter 2:11
Lately I have just felt strongly that I am alien to this world and that my home is with my Savior. Everywhere I go I just seem to feel like I don't belong in this world. For instance, at work all of the people I work with are extremely shocked at my lifestyle choices. They just don't understand why I don't got partying or "chase tail". The pleasures of this Earth are not eternal. It saddens me to think that that is the only life they know and have not experienced life as God intended it.
I'm constantly reminded how people are trying to fill the spiritual void in their lives with superficial things like sex, alcohol, and drugs. I believe we all deep down know that it isn't fulfilling and is not what life should look like. These things do not make people happy or give joy. Joy comes from God. Its that need for something more which pushes people to sin. I just wish that need pushed people to accept Christ.
I am very glad that I have hope in Christ. I know that I have a purpose to be here, that I am a part of a much larger plan. My life is not my own and I am grateful for that because knowing my life belongs to Christ is much more fulfilling.
