Its not easy coming up in high school being picked at. Sitting at a table by yourself or getting called lame or a weirdo. It not easy not having a lot of friends. Or feeling like you have to change yourself to fit in with others. You tried the changing yourself thing and it just didn't quite work out. You always wonder why you always stood out from others, Why is it you feel "different" . Or why is it that I'm not the most liked, popular, or I seem to be uninteresting. Trust me I know exactly how you feel. Because I done been there. .personally. I been that kid and its not a good feeling, But once I grew stronger in Jesus Christ , I realized that I was never meant to fit in , I was created to stand out. That's when I notice that I was a misfit and chose to embrace it than run from it. 1 Peter 2:9 reminds us :But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. God has Created Us "The Chosen People" to help bring people closer to him. He have given all of us a purpose to use in his kingdom. It is up to us to find the special gifts he has blessed us with and use them accordingly to his word. Its not easy being young and a Christian. I know. All the temptations. Everyone in your ear saying lets go to the club, lets smoke this blunt, lets have sex even though we aren't married, lets go sell drugs, lets twerk, lets go steal this, lets go rob them, why you don't curse, why you so uptight, seems like people drag you from left to right to get you to do wordly things and you don't want to disappoint anyone. You don't want to get looked at as boring, lame because you been hearing that probably your whole life. But you have to believe that God will place that right friends in your life once you choose to let go of those who mean you no good. Sometimes even family you will have to learn to love from a distance. Accepting the fact that you are meant to be different because God Created you that way for a reason can release that anxiety of wanting to be like "them". Once you accept that fact . You can help "them" come closer to Christ and understand who he Is. John 15:19 If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.
Romans 8:28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. 2 Corinthians 6:14 Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? And my All time Favorite Jeremiah 1:5 Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations. Accept that you are Different, God has A Calling Over your life. You are very Important to Jesus Christ and He Needs You !
