"If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you." John 15:19

“I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.” (John 17:14)

“Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world – the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life – is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.” (1 John 2:15)

“Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.” (James 4:4)

"The cross before me the world behind
No turning back, raise the banner high
It's not for me, it's all for You

Let the heavens shake and split the sky
Let the people clap their hands and cry
It's not for us, it's all for You

Not to us, but to Your Name be the glory
Not to us, but to Your Name be the glory" --Not to Us, Chris Tomlin

If you couldn't tell by the verses and the song, we Saints of God are not of this world. However, we are still IN the world! But that doesn't mean we should tolerate the evil of the world, or even welcome it. Friendship towards the world is hatred toward God. This image was created to make the struggle of the narrow path to Salvation more tangible. We should be leaving the things of the world behind, and focusing our eyes on Christ. He will lead us there, even if it looks like we're bouncing precariously on bubbles, he will safely lead us to Him so long as we focus wholly on Him. Don't let the world distract you, or you're bubble will pop, and you will fall back!

"To the cross I look, to the cross I cling
Of it's suffering I do drink
Of it's work I do sing

For on it my Savior both bruised and crushed
Showed that God is love
And God is just

At the cross You beckon me
You draw me gently to my knees, and I am
Lost for words, so lost in love,
I’m sweetly broken, wholly surrendered" Jeremy Riddle, Sweetly Broken.
