Get used to feeling like an alien when you desire God wholeheartedly. You can even be uncomfortable with those you are close to, because deep down you hate being conformed to the usual. It is your spirit's longing to be where God works as every believer knows He can. David's devotion led him to write: "I am a stranger to my brothers, an alien to my own mother's sons; for zeal for your house consumes me and the insults of those who insult you fall on me." (Psalm 69:8-9)
Many are called, but few are chosen. Those who do not become what God intends insult God. Please forfeit the things that beset you and live by God. Hasn't there been something within you knowing there must be more to life than what you've experienced? There is. It is the more abundant life(see John 10:10). And it is available for the asking. Have courage to pursue it.
