No Place to Call Home:
"NO PLACE TO CALL HOME "
by Mae Shurow
I don't fit. Is there anybody else out there who feels the same way? Every time I talk to the Father about this, He tells me, 'Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head' (Luke 9:58).
It took me a while to understand what this passage is saying. Jesus, in addressing a man who said to him 'Lord, I will follow thee withersoever thou goest,' reveals what following Him will entail - those who choose to follow Him will have no place to call home! Jesus is telling this man there will be no longer be ANY PLACE where he can feel at home; no place where he can lay his head; no place that he can rest; no place where he will feel accepted in this world. THIS is the cost of following Christ!
I DON'T FIT ANYWHERE."

I am seriously sitting here with nothing to write or say at the moment. I can't believe that I just read what I myself would have written if I had the words. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
