We need to belong

Imagine if you couldn’t belong to anything. No family, no team, no company, no community. You would feel alone and suffer. Belonging helps us feel a part of something bigger than ourselves, it gives us purpose and strength.

As humans we all have a deep need to belong.

God has provided a way for us to belong even after death. As Malachi the Old Testament prophet said, and it’s the very last verse of the Old Testament, the Lord will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and children to the fathers.

We are linked to our fathers and to our children so we can belong to something forever. What a great blessing.

- Malachi 4:6, DC 2:1-3
