Several weeks ago, my pastor spoke about the topic "Where do I belong?," a question that I have been asking myself since graduation. I didn't get much of anything out of the message and was still left wondering. I ended up goggling it. I then took a personality test that told me I belong in London, England. It still wasn't quite what I was looking for. I've been getting frustrated by my lack of direction. I have felt alone and out of place. Suddenly, God showed me the Truth, something I had been missing all along. I had been think of this the entirely wrong way. What matters is that "I am Here." This is where I am. I am in the present at this present location. God may take me elsewhere in the future, and I need to be listening for that. Right now, I've got to use what I have. I've got to be used where I am. Everywhere that we are needs to be useful for His good. I will continue to be an outsider for as long as I choose to be on the outside. I have turned "being" into a passive act. Being, is indeed a verb, it's what you do. While I am "being" here, I need to be BEING Christ, BEING Love. I was created for more than to just consume oxygen and inhabit space. I am More.
