Being left out of a family can cause many trials and tribulations. The need to belong causes persons to seek, search, and lament until that need is realized. No greater need for peace, happiness, and joy is greater than the need to belong to a viable family. God has created a new humanity, a family. God has brought two nations together - Jews and Gentiles - into one family by the cross of Jesus Christ. Those who seek a family have only to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ and allow faith to captivate their body, soul, mind, and spirit. God wants us all to stop being strangers and join his family.
