The sense of belonging

The sense of belonging is something that has to do with our everyday life.

We have lived together for years now with a sense of belonging. Perhaps this started with fashion, from car brands then with trends exponentially until it became a reason to always have the most beautiful thing.

I think maybe I was also wrong, if you think about it maybe the sense of belonging comes from politics, from the faction you are in for the consequence of reasons that helps you choose.

I could certainly move my thoughts to more remote facts of civilization just as I could get some suggestions from you but what I need to focus on is the sense of belonging.

But what is this sense of belonging?

I don't want to delve into it by reading it on the web, I just need to focus on the word. It is the sense you give to your choice to be with someone or in any case take someone's side.

Someone who wears that brand still has that sense of belonging to a system, a music, a ghetto, a place, a... etc.

What do you need to demonstrate with a sense of belonging?

Credo, sempre nella logica di un concetto, sia un fattore di incapacità per non ritrovarsi da solo o differenziarsi per essere qualcuno.

The Bible says that when two or three (even more than three) are gathered together in His name, He is in the midst of them. If we thought of many homes where there are two or three people inside, we would have several churches scattered throughout a town. The fantastic thing to think is that this hypothetical village represents a Christian world, made up of people who come from the same Word, from the same "call", sent by the same "voice" but unfortunately, alas, I cannot evaluate my imagination but the reality of the facts. I open my eyes, I observe the world and the same scene of the village comes before me, of the two or three residents in that or that house and everyone has decided that their own Word has to do with a "better" context, with a different "vision", that this is better rather than that, which is there in usbertà e in quegli altri c'è ancora qualche costrizione.
I seem to see politics mixed with the Word. However, this mixture was created by man and not God. God inspired a man, who wrote in one of many books (Bible) to tell us "I created simple things and man complicated them". So if the Word is true it is reflected in what we see but our eyes have become complicated and having developed, due to a question of the World, a sense of belonging, then we are clouded by understanding it.
We should probably return to meet at home like the true church of Priscilla and Aquila to find ourselves again in the true sense of the Word of God and stop attributing merits to ourselves by building small towers of Babel within countries, and I mean in Italy as in America as in any other part of the world, where we try to bring people to God and then make them lose themselves in belonging and no longer in the Word.

Finora ho conosciuto solo una persona che porta avanti la Parola di Dio non prendendosi meriti e ciò mi ha confermato che ce ne saranno tanti altri al mondo che fanno ciò senza necessariamente comparire come personaggi pubblici famosi. Sì perché essere un personaggio pubblico implica comparizioni, interviste, ospitate, pubblicazioni di libri e ci si perde nel mondano lasciando che la Parola diventi un gadget da servire al momento.

Rifletti, la Parola è viva ed è Vita, Verità e Via.
