Down to Earth

July 11, 2021

Each and every day, we find ourselves searching for someone we can connect to or relate with. We want someone who understands who we are, how we think, and what we feel. But over and over again, we are let down by the people in our lives— parents, teachers, and even our friends. There are limits to their ability to relate and we end up feeling like no-one truly understands or “gets” who we are. So we try a boyfriend or girlfriend, a new friendship, or anything that helps us feel normal and loved. While these connections can make us feel understood for a time, they will always let us down. They leave holes in our hearts that we constantly try to fill (or worse, escape from).

Outsider: Misunderstood

July 12, 2021 • Michael Fitzgerald

Have you ever felt like an outsider? Maybe you walked into the lunchroom, a classroom, church, or even your very own home and instantly felt as if you were an alien from mars. Or maybe you’ve been- -Looked down on because of the way your family looks or lives? -Misunderstood by your parents even though you felt like what you were doing was right? -Best friends with someone who later stabbed you in the back? -Mocked for who you are, what you believe, the way you look, or the abilities you have? -Looked down on because of the place you are from? -Been teased or given unwanted attention because of your body image? Guess what? Whether you believe it or not, you are not alone. Not only do we all face these same struggles, but Jesus himself faced them too. He also felt like an OUTSIDER.
