So now you Gentiles are no longer strangers and foreigners. You are citizens along with all of God’s holy people. You are members of God’s family. ~ Ephesians 2:19 (NLT)
KEY IDEA:
God moves us along from being foreigners to being family members.PRAYER:
Lord, I'm the type of person who needs to belong. Throughout my life I've easily joined groups and have readily embraced people with similar interests. Thank you, though, for including me in the most important group of all -- your family! I don't always behave as a family member. But I know that because of the mercy of Christ that is my identity. I need your assistance so that I can help others know what it is like to belong. Through Christ we are all members of your family. Amen.
