But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of Him who hath called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.
1 Peter 2:9
peculiar – 1. strange, odd. 2. uncommon, unusual. 3. distinctive in nature or character from others.
We, as Christians, are not supposed to look like the rest of the world. We are supposed to be different. Set apart from everyone else. So the rest of the world can clearly see that we are Christ Followers.
I want the world to look at me, and see that I am different. I want them to notice such a difference in me, that they want to know why I’m different.
And the why would be Jesus Christ, my Lord & Saviour.
I don’t want what everyone else has, I want what God has for me.
I don’t want to do everything that everyone else does, I want to do what God wants me to do.
