"Therefore, "Come out from
them and be separate", says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I
will receive you."
2 Corinthians 6:17
Now that we have reached the jolly
season of family time and into a Christmasy ambient I have been noticing
Christmas trees all over department stores and pretty happy old songs of
"Let it snow". The other day I was observing a Christmas tree at
Target, it was so beautiful, full of color and decorations, all of the
ornaments were coordinated all nicely but assorted in different places there
were unique out of the ordinary ornaments that didn't quite fit in. I spotted a
little pink ballerina with a small golden crown that sparkled so precious and
it made it all look even more radiant. I see ourselves as Christmas ornaments
yet we portray something unique and special that the rest don't, the presence
of God. Just like the little pink ballerina that I spotted right away we should
be, not be camouflaged with the rest. I believe we were born to be special and
unique, we have no need to blend in with this society(which is the christmas
tree) because we are not from this world, but from a celestial ground. I had
been told this many times since my childhood but it never meant anything until
now. Being a university student is being in a sea of sororities and non-stop
profanity. Being different has helped me lead others to Christ without knowing
it, (well I'm in the process of doing so too!, but thats for the next post).
Dare to be different, be happy when others ask you why you don't dress a
certain way, why you don't write a certain way or why you don't listen to the
same music. Little things lead up to a greater impact that believe it or not is
shining in the mist of the darkness, its being the pink ballerina with a golden
sparkly crown ornament on the Christmas tree:)
