We all crave acceptance. The desire to belong is a desire that is deep within us. We want to feel included and welcomed. It’s the reason why sports teams and marching bands wear uniforms—they identify that you belong. When we begin a relationship with Jesus, we are become a part of God’s family. Jesus describes Himself as the Good Shepherd (John 10:11) who watches over his sheep (that’s us!).

Jesus is the shepherd who we belong to and he keeps us safe and united.
