Jeremiah 31:8
Behold, I will bring them back from the land of the north, and I will gather them together from the ends of the earth.
Sometimes you may feel out of place but fear not because you always have a place in God—the Redeemer, the Divine, the all-loving presence. God is the driving force in bringing us together, despite our differences. Sometimes, when God brings us together in community, we are able to recognize our belonging. This sense of community helps us to know we are part of something greater. Just as it always has been, God brings God’s people together.
In your daily life, know that you are a part of a community, you are a part of God. You belong eternally, just as God is eternal.
How do you experience God’s presence in the communities you are part of? How can you actively contribute to making your community a place where others feel welcomed and loved?
