Insider or Outsider

Can you relate to this? We get desperate to be insiders? We don’t want to be beautiful for beauty’s sake, we want beauty because it gives us certain access. We don’t want to be smart; we want to be smart so we can be with people who are on the inside. We want wealth because wealth gives us access to power. What happens when we can’t get insider status? Our brokenness and pride come to the surface. That can get messy. Read 2 Kings 5:1-15
