Woot there it is
"But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mery, but now you have received mercy. Dear friends, I urge you, as aliens and strangers in the world, to abstain from sinful desires, which war against your soul. Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deed s and glorify God on the day he visits us." 1 Peter 2:9-12
"No, in all things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us." Romans 8:37
Have you ever worn a mask? A false face. They are usually designed to disguise our appearance. The fun at a masquerade party is to try to determine who is behind the mask. Well, some of us wear a false face or mask every day of the year. They are a great pretender. They are deceptive and hide the real agenda behind their mask. Some pretend to love although they really do not; some have even pretended to be Christians. But God knows the real you.
How do you recognize a real child of God? It is not just in what they say, but it is in their actions and life style. Be true and dedicated in your Christian service and remember whose you are. If we really knew who we were in God we would not hang our heads down so much. Things in life would not bother us so much. God empowers us with the Holy Spirit who intercedes for us.
Let your light so shine before men. The world cannot take it from you. Do you know how much swagger you have in Christ? You've got to know who you are. You cannot mess with what God created. God designed each of you to be who you are. If you want a good man/woman, then stop trying to be who you are not. Women stop revealing your bodies, be modest and cover yourselves. Likewise men, pull up your pants no real woman wants a man with his underwear hanging out. Just be yourselves and stop thinking that what we have (material things) or don't have defines who we are.
We can be easily recognized because we are God's special people. So what if we don't fit in with the world, we weren't meant to. We were meant to stand out and be a beacon for God. "For you are a people holy to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession." Deuteronomy 7:6 Don't depend on man to do everything for you--you need to depend on God!
"Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body." You are redeemed, bought with a price. Jesus has saved our whole lives. Who I am is not what you see on the outside but what is on the inside. When you receive Jesus you become a peculiar people, a chosen generation. You don't need the world to dictate who you are.
