There are many reasons we can feel like outsiders. You could be here as an expat and feel like an outsider because this is not your home country. You could be a local Mauritian and feel overwhelmed by the number of foreigners coming into the country. It just doesn’t feel the way it used to. You could feel like a stranger because no one knows what you are going through, and you feel isolated and alone. You could feel like a foreigner because you don’t fit in, you don’t see things the same way as your family or friends, you don’t have the same interests or values. Being a stranger and a foreigner is actually the common experience of every Christian in the world, including the heroes of faith we read about in the bible.
