Many play it safe by being invisible— an anonymous face in the crowd. Never questioning what others or the culture has declared as acceptable and life sustaining.
Therein lies the problem.
When man’s wisdom and truth, not Papa’s, is your compass for navigating life. You will inevitably get lost.
Allegiance to Papa’s truth isn’t for the faint hearted or the spineless. As the preeminent nonconformist, you can’t embrace the culture’s definition of reality. Values, priorities and dreams that contradict Papa’s truth must always be rejected.
INSTEAD
Embrace…
Not coloring inside the lines. Choose to create an original work of art, not a reproduction. Become the person Papa envisioned before time began.
Swim upstream against the current of ordinary. Determined to become the image of Christ– no matter the cost.
Think outside the box. Break free of the narrow mindedness of political correctness and religious dogma.
Yes, people will be offended. You’ll be ridiculed and persecuted for rejecting man’s truth.
BUT
You were created to be an unique individual with an unique destiny. A son or daughter of Almighty God who will…
Positively impact the world regardless the personal cost.
Dream the impossible dream.
Travel the road less traveled because it’s the only road that leads to the unique destiny that is yours alone.
Challenge the status quo so that love, justice and honor are exalted.
Dance to a different drummer. Even when the music has stopped playing.
Make Papa proud. Refuse to assimilate into the sea of anonymity.
However, you are chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, people who belong to God. You were chosen to tell about the excellent qualities of God, who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Once you were not God’s people, but now you are. Once you were not shown mercy, but now you have been shown mercy.
1 Peter 2:9-10
