How Do I Embrace Belonging? A 7-Day Journey Through Faith and Communityনমুনা

The Promise of Belonging

Focus

Sit with your breath today. Breathe in and count to four and then exhale. With each exhale repeat the phrase “Jesus, you call us to you.” Allow this phrase to settle with your breathing for a few minutes and simply focus on those words in rhythm with your breath.

Apply

As a people of faith, we come from a legacy of belonging. Those who came before us knew that the promise of belonging was not only a promise for our lifetimes but for when we pass into the next. They passed on that promise of belonging to us. Who in your life or in Scripture has passed on this legacy of belonging?

Respond

God, may the stories of those before me be a constant reminder that I belong to you and that I was made for something greater. May the legacy of believers move me to live out a spirit of belonging and empower me to walk in faith and not fear.
