Here are a few of the questions that I find myself dealing with daily. Now, I could be by myself and the only person who has felt excluded even when I was included. However, at the end of the day I would like to be accepted. I would like to know that I am not different! Yet, I find myself watching TV which some of us are doing why to much of these days and comparing my life.  Yep, mentally I know it’s fake. Again, I maybe alone here in thinking when my success does not compare to what I see when I scroll through Social Media that I am inadequate.  I feel some type of way! or wondering “what about me?” Honestly, I compare myself often to the things I see or hear even though I know I shouldn’t. Something in me is uncomfortable or even feels threatened at the thought of being different or unaccepted. In comparison to others I would like for my life to conform to the things or situations I see. However, this dissatisfaction makes me tired, sad, and unpeaceful so do I dare be different? Set apart? Do, I dare accept that my success will not look like the success of others because God is doing a “new thing in me” Isaiah 43: 19

I am, Me and I have a different story so things should be different. Right? Freedom came when I accepted the truth that if I am different and you don’t understand, or you unfriend me then I would be okay. Romans 5:11 reminded me that “Jesus Christ made me a Friend of God.” Which translates to me that we must be mighty special if God befriended us!  So, I challenge you to be as strong and free as God as created you to be because you’re a new person; therefore, you do not have to mimic or compare yourself to society since you will have a new way of thinking.   Romans 12:2

Being different is great, being uncomfortable is okay because the more that you learn about who God says that you are in Him, the stronger your relationship will be; thus, you’ll honestly be able to put your trust in Him. Psalms 34:8 So don’t minimize yourself because you do not want to stand out, be humble, but also be confident that our Father is the Potter and we are his clay Isaiah 64:8 and God creates masterpieces. Ephesians 2:10 Yeah, it’s okay to be confident in the unique gifts that God has given you and I encourage you today to find Freedom in that. Trust that the ultimate fulfillment is in your relationship with God and do not to sow your seeds amongst thorns because I don’t know about you, but I want to be fruitful.  Matthew 13:22 says, “the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.”

God said what he said! Accept it.

Are you comfortable in your uniqueness, in the uncomfortable?
