🌍 The World Is Not Your Home

Jesus reminded His disciples that following Him would never mean blending in. In John 15:18–16:4, He says, “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first.” As believers, we shouldn’t be surprised when life feels uncomfortable, when values clash, or when our faith makes us stand out.

This world was never meant to be our home. We are called to live differently—anchored in Christ, walking in truth, and holding onto hope. The rejection or misunderstanding we face today points us back to where we truly belong: with Him.

So take heart. When you feel out of place, remember—you’re not supposed to fit in here. Your real citizenship is in heaven, and your Savior has gone ahead to prepare a place for you. Until then, walk faithfully, shine brightly, and know you are never alone. ✨
