“It’s OK to Be Different”

This mornings’ Scripture reading comes from
1 Peter 2:11 (NLT)

Dear friends, I warn you as “temporary residents and foreigners” to keep away from worldly desires that wage war against your very souls.
Praise the Lord Everyone and Happy Father’s Day to the Fathers all around the world.

You know, when you become devoted to Christ, your life becomes different. Your mentality changes. Everything about you becomes different. When we follow God’s directions, it means we do things differently from others. It means, instead of being offended or upset, we choose love and tranquility. Instead of insisting on our way, we assist others. Beloved, it means, instead of trying to be right all the time, we build and lift others up.

Now, this isn’t the way most people in the world act, but that’s okay. As Christians (Believers) we’re called to be different. We’re called to rise higher. We’re called to be examples, an illustration of God’s grace, mercy and forgiveness. It may not make sense to others but that’s okay!!! 😀 God will promote you to a new level of blessing and victory when you obligate yourself fully to Him.

Beloved, you don’t have to live a life of mediocrity, you can live a life of excellence for God. Live a life pleasing to Him and don’t be afraid to be different!!!

Let Us Pray:
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for transforming me into Your image. I know that I’m not like the world, I’m set apart for You. Help me to love like You and be a light everywhere I go. In Jesus’ Mighty Name I pray, Amen and Amen!!!

May your Father’s Day Sunday be Blessed in the Lord. 😀
