Something I learned

Something I have learned recently is that part of my struggles in my walk lately have been because of my ignoring a basic Christian principle.

I do not wish to conform to the pattern of this world but did recently learn that I am still trying to be accepted by it.

I am a Christian yet I can still fit! You will still like me! I am not like those you think of as Christians!

Naive thinking at best. Through the most wonderful and God ordained interlude with a Christian in the marketplace, I learned that I will never fit.

I am only doing business in the world but all of my efforts to FIT while remaining set apart are fruitless.

It seems funny to me now, that whilst I strive for sanctifition in my life, that I still have tried to "fit."

I did NOT fit and will not ever fit because I am in fact, set apart! Meant to NOT fit. People know it. I don't hide it. So it doesn't work. Lol...kicking against the goads was I. Why? Seems so funny now!

And it was frustrating me. Trying so hard to "prove" that I was an acceptable (to the world) Christian. I'm not! I am UNacceptable! WOOHOO!!!!

Ha. As if a true Christian is meant to be accepted.

I heard a great saying yesterday the other day...

Obey God. Let him handle the consequences.

Today, I choose to obey God and to stop trying to fit. Let the consequences be what they may!
