“our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ” —Philippians 3:20

I love you, My child! It felt good being a guest and around some of My children talking about My Word last night, didn’t it? Within your trial, you are growing closer to Me. And you are starting to notice and partake in the fellowship opportunities I’ve been providing. I know you, I made you. And belonging is important to you. You didn’t personally know most of the guys last night, but you knew you were accepted because you are all known by Me. You may never see some of these guys on earth again, but you will in heaven. You know your true citizenship and you were among some of your citizens last night—that’s why you felt so comfortable. You belonged! My child, your earthly trial will sometimes leave you feeling unwanted, ostracized, and unloved. These are your toughest days. This is when the Enemy exasperates your loneliness by whispering lies that nobody cares about you, such as “You could die and no one would care.” These whispers are like a constant stream of flaming arrows coming your way. That’s when I need you to hold up sturdy your shield of faith to extinguish the lies—knowing that you do belong. You belong to Me! That’s why I call you, “My child.” And know that I am sending some of My children your way to help you with that sense of belonging. Keep the fellowship going, My child—for My glory! I love you!
