To those who have not completely come to Christ and his Church yet, I offer the following thoughts.
(1) It can be an awful feeling to be estranged from someone of your own family or anyone close to you. I have known of cases in which a person near death finally wants to reconcile with those he's estranged from. It's a great feeling to be back on good terms with everyone.
(2) After you leave home for a while, you get homesick. You finally return home and get that great home-sweet-home feeling ~ if doesn't matter much whether you have a shabby place or live in a magnificent palace.
(3) I always feel good after taking a shower, shaving, combing my hair, and putting on some clean clothes. You are now clean and well-groomed, feeling like a brand new person.
When you go all the way to Christ and his Church, you receive all three of these great feelings. First, you are no longer estranged from God, more important than any of your family members. Secondly, you know you have come home, your true home on earth and in heaven. Thirdly, you will feel clean and renewed, beginning a new life in Christ. Only God can make you feel this great.
