I believe I just figured something out. The closer you become with the Lord the more detached you feel from this world. Now I know God's children are not from this world*, but rather our citizenship is in heaven, yet I never realized until several months ago how detached one can feel with their surroundings when they delve deep into the things of God. I have begun to feel like I am literally not a part of this world. Things that I placed importance in no longer matter as much. It's a peculiar feeling really. You feel like you aren't present wherever you are. Things seem far away when in reality they are right in front of you. It's an odd sensation. Now don't misunderstand me, I'm not saying that I have arrived spiritually speaking. Not at all. It's just an ethereal experience that is difficult to explain. It just happens, I don't conjure it up or anything like that. I just will be standing somewhere, look around and realize that I really don't belong here. I relate to very few people in this world. The ones who are hurting I seem to be drawn to or they are drawn to me. It's humbling. I guess it has to be a God thing. Love you all ... be a blessing to someone you meet today!
*Philippians 3:17-21 "Join together in following my example, brothers and sisters, and just as you have us as a model, keep your eyes on those who live as we do. For, as I have often told you before and now tell you again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. Their destinyis destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is set on earthly things. But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body."rlk
