In the World but Not of the World

I think the thought – that as a Christian I am in the world but not of this world, per bible scripture – this thought must have given me some comfort in looking to this “other world of God” when the pain and troubles in the world seem too much to bear at times. Perhaps providential circumstances come to goad me to reflect and acquire insights on the meaning of scriptures, an understanding which is based on a searing experience in the heart, a personal imprint of understanding that may not be possible otherwise.
