Belonging

Belonging as defined by Merriam-Webster means possession—usually used in plural close or intimate relationship .

What is a sense of belonging? Where does that sense come from? If it is not there can we ever get it? 

I have found this journey interesting even though most of the time I have resisted going in where it wants to take me which has been out of my comfort zone. However, sooner or later I am back on the trail and am finding my way down the road.

It has been so strange to me that no matter what I have did I have always felt like that fifth wheel and yet I know people care about me, for me and with me. I usually have a good time with whoever I am with and embrace the friendships that I have. 

I know I belong to a kingdom whose Father is God. I know I belong to different groups, and I know that I have "a friend that sticks closer than a brother".


Still...that longing to actually "feel" that I belonged was so overwhelming at times that I could not stand it. I am thinking however that if stay on the road to holiness I believe that I will become whole and as I become whole I will feel that belonging feeling.
