Our identity is in Christ.
The last few weeks, I have seen comparisons in its finest hour. Every minute of that hour it seems one of us must compare ourselves to another or worse, someone else does it for us.
It’s hard enough to be a black sheep in a herd of white coats without the other sheep constantly ‘baahing’ in each other’s ears about how they think how one should live their life. Why is it wrong? Why is it wrong to be different, when God has called us to stand out?
To stand up.
Why must we compare ourselves to others to know who we are?
When your judgment between right and wrong are withered by the winds,
When your belief is shattered and scattered thoughts are hard to mend,
When you sit at home alone and can only find yourself in a book,
Then you know,
When you question the road in which your pressed to travel,
When you’ve been born and raised in a world you can’t possibly fit,
When you’ve never really had all you’ve thought you had gained,
Then you know,
When everything you do stays the same and nothing happens,
When you get run over for standing in the middle of the road,
When the happiness for which you long is found outside your four walls,
Then you know…
You don’t know this world at all.
I may not know completely who I am just yet. But I know what I am not.
“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” Romans 12:2
