Where we belong

Where do you feel you most belong to? A club which share your interests? An association where you can do something passionately? A kendo club perhaps? Maybe a group of close friends who make you feel you belong to that group no matter how long the years have passed. Or a place, your hometown perhaps, you feel where you most belonged to among your families and neighbours. A church where you have been to for most of your life?

I grew up in a few places…moved to 2 different states during my schooldays. Sometimes I felt I neither belong to Penang nor Kuantan. I have so many different group of friends, so many memories of growing up in different places. Penang, Kuantan, Nilai, NZ, KL. Been to so many churches becoz of  moving to different places. I remember a friend who used to tell me she doesnt know where her actual home is because she grew up in so many different countries and her parents are in Europe now even though they hold Malaysian passports.

I was reading my bible the other day…about the cruxification of Christ which gives us our salvation. My life is bought a price. It is bought by the blood of Christ. It is born again by the grace of God, of His love for sinners like me, at His mercy where all compassion can be found. Thus, I belong to Christ because He is the joy I know. He is the treasure I hold deep, the only Rock I can lean on, the only reason I can live for. This is where I belong to, in His presence, in His house, in His Kingdom, where I can sing His praises forever. I found where I belong and I belong to Christ

44"The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.

45"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. 46When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it.                                                         Matthew 13:44-45
