On a random note
What does it feel to be different from the REST? Didn't God call us to be different? To be the salt and light to this world. People call us holy people. I never understood why they did until I actually know what they do. After really knowing what is going on, the news did not pull me down, of course there was a bit of sadness but honestly the news actually motivated me to be a better Child of God. To not feel ashamed of being different, of being what we are called to be in this world.
Who say it is easy for a person not to follow the norm? But despite those difficulties, we know that God is at our side, holding our hands, and leading us through. When we look at life, like what happens after we die, the only thing we can think of is the day of judgment, and ETERNITY. What we do in this world NOW, will determine what REWARD we reap in heaven. "Life is Short, Make the Best out of It", has been the phrase repeatedly mentioned to me. You make the best out of Life by Living for God. So be different people, use your life to shine God's goodness and everything that he is. People may look at us differently, and comment about us, but remind yourself what God thinks of You is MUCH MORE IMPORTANT than what the world judge you =)
