That she was an immigrant.
Her accent and her garb made her stand out.
She didn't fit in.
But I'm an alien too.
It's true because I'm part of God's
Kingdom living in a hostile world.
Scripture tells me that His realm is one of
"Righteousness, and peace and
Joy in the Holy Spirit," and
Since I'm His subject, those qualities should
Reside in me.
In this evil world I should display a righteous life.
in this warring world I should exhibit peace.
In this hopeless world I should exude joy.
I should stick out because I'm a foreigner.
Onlookers should shake their heads and wonder,
"What planet is she from?"
Romans 14:17
