People Who Don't Belong
Have you ever walked into a room filled with people and felt like you didn’t belong? I think we all have. Uncomfortable, anxious and wanting to leave are all things we have felt at those times.
Have you ever felt like you don’t belong in God’s presence? If you have you’re right. We have unclean hearts, and we live among a people of unclean hearts (Is. 6:5). We are people who don’t belong.
But yet we come into the presence of God by his precious invitation, guided not by a star but by the Holy Spirit. We come into the presence of God trusting in his promise that our bodies have been washed and our hearts cleansed by the sprinkling of Jesus’ blood (Heb. 9:14; 10:22). We come into the presence of God knowing that our Lord has invited us to come as his very own children, not to punish us but to give us his grace and blessing. Through faith in Jesus we are people who belong in the presence of our heavenly Father – thanks be to God!!
