Belonging Wherever We Are, Providence Podcast Episode
/The more that I, and we, live and grow into the fullness of being to which God calls us, the more we belong to God and ourselves. When we belong like that, we’ll find belonging wherever we are.
For reflection:
Have you ever felt like you don’t belong? What brought about that feeling, and how did you deal with it? When you have that feeling, where is God?
How can you be more open to allowing God to bring you into the fullness of being for which God has created you?
And who are the people around you who are excluded? Is there a call or an invitation to align with them, to make a space for them, to include them in a circle of belonging?
As you reflect on belonging, what is stirring in you? Maybe just take a few moments to talk with God about your thoughts and feelings.
