Are we trying to fit in?
So many of us are worried about fitting in. We’re so worried about being cool that we have forgotten what it is to make a stand for what is true.
The one true way of making a difference in this world is by igniting each of us by the spirit of God.
2 Timothy 3:12 - “Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted,”
It would appear from the verse above that maybe we’re afraid of persecution. Maybe we don’t want to speak up and tell others about Jesus, in fear of being ridiculed, laughed at, etc.
We all crave acceptance by others. We are on the wrong path when we seek most our validation of self-worth from the opinions of other people.
Think about this: when we are pursuing popularity as a means to happiness, we are flirting with idolatry.
God is the only one that can meet the needs of our personal worth.
Our desire to fit in should be found as having a good testimony in the world.
Fit into the mold God designed for you; not the world’s destructive idols.
