Does Anyone Feel Like an Alien?

<< < (3/9) > >>

love_magnified:
I feel like Alf mostly...

I know what you mean. I remember when God led me to the truth and opened my mind (heart) to his truths. I had just joined my church and it was one of those rock and roll, G12, charasmatic churches, where everything is happy and right with the world (above the earth's crust that is). The moment I believed, I knew my life was about to change. And a bit of me felt resentful, if you can believe that. I hadn't been accepted much in early schooling and always suffered a bit for that, and I felt, wow I fit in and now, yet again, I don't fit in. Now I realize God was always preparing me, and we are all being prepared even now.

worm:
sheesh...where's my mind...i said I'll quote Scripture and didn't...but here it is:

1Pe 2:9
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

the Greek for "peculiar is:
peripoiēsis
per-ee-poy'-ay-sis
acquisition (the act or the thing); by extension preservation: - obtain (-ing), peculiar, purchased, possession, saving.

We are a people "acquired" and "purchased"  and "preserved" from even before we were born :)

so rejoice little aliens! ;D

jerreye:
Good posts love_magnified and worm. You are right. Us "peculiar people" are being prepared. I have wondered about that for a few months now. "Has God been preparing me all of my life for this?"...when we think of it that way, it will be worth it in the end...

Brett:
OH, YES! I am VERY REAL ALIEN!  8) My feeling started that way since last two years and many do not want to welcome me!  :o

You are not alone.  :D

Patrick:
I have been peculier all of my life (at least in my thinking) and several folks have told me so.

I'll never forget when I moved to Arizona I called my "friends" all the time, I missed them. One day I noticed, (with the exception of a couple of people) I'm always the one calling, most have never called me.

Furthermore, not one member of my family has ever made the trip West to visit me. I don't try and figure it out anymore, I go home once/year to make all the rounds.
