My Father’s house has many dwelling places. If it were otherwise, I would tell you plainly, because I go to prepare a place for you. And when everything is ready, I will come back and take you to myself so you will be where I am. And you already know the way to the place where I’m going. John 14:2-4 The Passion Translation
We Don’t Belong Here
When you feel like giving up because you don’t fit in here, close your eyes and take the hand of God, breathe in His peace, exhale the lies of the enemy We don’t belong here and sometimes we feel that so strongly, we feel displaced in a negative way, where God wants us to feel displaced in a positive way. This is not our home. We have to remember that there is a place for us, a place we will belong in forever, a place where we will thrive, a place where we will find what we have been waiting for.
Yes, We Don’t Fit In!
Is there a place for me? Is there a place where I fit? (John 14:2-3) Sometimes we just feel displaced. The best thing for us is to be the “who” we have been designed and shaped by God to be. (Psalm 139:13-16) Exactly who we are is enough. So, we don’t fit in. Maybe we were born not to fit in, but to stand out. (Ephesians 2:10)
God’s Say So:
Say It And Believe It: “I am not displaced. I belong. There is a place for me.” It is more than we could dream, hope for, or imagine this place God has prepared for us. To shake off the feelings of being displaced, we need to change our focus off of ourself and what we think we need to feel like we belong, to feel like we fit in here. Focus on Jesus, and be about the business of His Kingdom and everything else here, on this side of heaven falls into place as we wait to be in the place we truly belong, with Jesus, the One we whole heartedly belong to.

Where I Fit
Is there a place for me? Is there a place where I fit? (John 14:2-3) Sometimes we just feel displaced. The best thing for us is to be the “who” we have been designed and shaped by God to be. (Psalm 139:13-16) Exactly who we are is enough. So, we don’t fit in. Maybe we were born not to fit in, but to stand out. (Ephesians 2:10) We strive so much to fit into this world, yet we fit perfectly with Jesus, heart to heart with Him. Our place where we belong is in Christ, and our identity is in Him. Is your identity wholly-holy in Jesus? (Galatians 2:20)
Without A Doubt
Do we know without a doubt that we belong to Jesus and He belongs to us. This is a great truth to anchor our identity to because this anchor holds as we get pulled into so many directions and try to it into this world where we really don’t belong. We have a future and a hope and it is in Christ Jesus, it is not here in this world. This world is temporary and maybe that is why we sometimes get to feeling displaced. (Jeremiah 29:11-12) There is a place for us. We belong to Jesus; we will one day be a citizen of heaven. This is where we fit.
