Belonging

I've been thinking a lot about belonging. Perhaps it is the feeling that I just don't quite fit anywhere. Or maybe's it's because of the desire to really make a difference somewhere, for someplace, some person. And I've been thinking about how God always wants to be in a relationship with me. I think that is such a hard concept to wrap my head around. Not because I don't want to be in relationship, but because I struggle with thinking others don't really like to be around me.

But if I really lived like I believed God wanted to be in relationship with me and I was never alone and always belonged somewhere, what would that look like in my life? And how do I make others feel included, invited, enjoyed, wanted?  I just wish I were better at that - at the believing and the doing.
