We Belong

Samantha Futherman grew up in the United States and works as an actress, while Anais Bordier is a fashion designer who was raised by adoptive parents in France.  Anais was told by a friend about an American actress who resembled her in a YouTube video.

Bordier later revealed: "When I looked at the video, I — it was, like, shocking …," You can't imagine that you might have a twin sister somewhere that you don't know about."

After several exchanges, the two realized that they were identical twins born in Busan, South Korea, where they were given away for adoption at three months old.

Asked about her feeling when she met her twin, Futerman said " (it’s) that feeling on Christmas when you open up the presents, the one you were asking for, it's that — that pure feeling of joy." They have since met several times and are currently working on a documentary film about their stories.

Do you sometimes have the feeling that your life seems to be incomplete? That a part of you need to belong? The reason of Christ in becoming a man was to reveal the Father (John 1:14, 18) and to redeem humanity, through his crucifixion. By doing so, He showed us the way towards completion, towards perfection. 

We belong to the Father, and Jesus told us, “In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?” (John 14:2) We are meant to reunite with our Father, and that would be more than pure feeling of joy.  The prophet Habakkuk describes it in this manner, "His radiance is like the sunlight; He has rays flashing from His hand." (Hab. 3:4a). The joy is beyond human comprehension.
