There is this pressure we feel to be like everyone else, to be accepted, to be loved because Standing alone is tough ... Standing alone is painful;
However,
that is the call.
We are called to be different. We are called to think different, Act different, Speak different and Love different. That is the higher calling.. A call to pick up the cross of abiding faith in Jesus A call to follow him daily irrespective of feelings, circumstances and contrary desires
A call to be God's in dark times
Have you answered the call? Will you be different?
Because Different is good.
Romans 12:2(NIV) Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
1 Peter 2:9Amplified (AMP) But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a consecrated nation, a [special] people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies [the wonderful deeds and virtues and perfections] of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvellous light
