"Our citizenship is
in Heaven..."
-Phillipians 3:20
There was a young girl that has been adapted by a family who lived in Australia. That young girl's nationality is Chinese. She is a survivor from a tragic shipwrecked where her parents died 3 years ago. She 7 years old at that time. They we're about to go to Singapore for vacation when a storm came in on their way, millions of passenger died on that tragic night including her parents. She survived and was bought orphanage in Taiwan.luckily a couple saw her and have pity on her thats why she adapted by them. The couple brought her to Australia to have a new life with them.She had a hard time adjusting on her days of staying there, she had a hard time adapting the culture of the country. Because she is not familiar with their language she find it hard to communicate to them and because of that she always tease by her classmates at school.In 3 years of staying there she doesn't even found a friend. She work everything on her own thats why her adapted parents decided to her to China where she truly belongs.
For us Christians, we are aliens here in the world. Aliens whose always at war. Like the girl in the story we don't know the language and the life style of those people around. But take heart heart, do not be afraid 'coz GOD will provide our strenght.We are always at war,temptation is everywhere. Our real home is in heaven.We are strangers from the perfect world. So always gear up, never give up and live like a strangers that people will recognize your differences and with that difference GOD will be glorify.
I Peter 2:11
"Dear friends, I urge you, as Aliens and strangers in the world, to obstain from sinful desires, which war against your soul."
