Sandy Brister: For When You Keep Looking Back Where You No Longer Belong
"If you find yourself looking back where you no longer belong, call on Jesus Christ who brings hope and healing amid all your longing. We can only speculate as to the reasons why Lot’s wife defied the instructions to not look back. Some theological commentators agree she was looking back with a longing to return. In her willful disobedience, she gazed where she no longer belonged, and her life ended.
Like Lot’s wife, I no longer belong where I once lived. But, unlike Lot’s wife, I found belonging where the Lord brought me. Though I can't return to my childhood home, I’ve found belonging with the church family that loved me unconditionally during my childhood pain."
