You Belong to God


From: Following Jesus: Finding Our Way Home in an Age of Anxiety


The love of God that touches us and informs us is a love that we can trust is there. No one can take it away from us. All the great saints talk about it. All people who have suffered talk about it. It is the place that is home. The place of God. The place where you are safe. The place where the world has no power over you. Jesus says, “You do not belong to the world. You belong to God. To me. To the Father. To the Spirit. You are called to live in the world without being of it.”


“If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world.”
 
– John 15: 19
