Let me be different God, I don't mind.
Satan's strategy is simple:
Make sin seem normal and righteousness strange. The closer you are to God, the stranger you are to people. Don't fall for that. If your heart is not grounded in the truth, you will be carried away by everything that is popular.
Compromise always distances you from Christ. God did not create you to fit in.
He chose you to stand out. You are not strange for walking in obedience - you are walking in wisdom.
If the path you are taking seems easy to you, if everyone greets and praises you... it is probably not the narrow path. The Lord's path has always been a challenge to the culture.
He gave his life for it, and His followers paid the same price.
Your obedience to God is more important than the world's opinion.
The Lord Jesus was perfect, they still hated him. Stop seeking validation from a world that crucified its Creator. God’s approval is worth more than the applause of the whole world. I don’t care who laughs at me, I will boldly say:
I would rather stand with God and be rejected by the world than stand with the world and be rejected by God.
If you choose God over culture, if you would rather be singled out than accepted…you probably feel like a “white sheep” in this dark world…
But God singled them out on purpose.
