Identity

If you asked me if I would enthusiastically proclaim that I was a Christian in School, I might have cringed. Its somewhat fearsome, among people you don’t know very well, and whom don’t even have a religion or any particular belief. For most teenagers, this would be the case.

How can we live to glorify and worship God? How do we be non-hypocrites, “praising God” and being “Holy” in Church while being indistinguishable and blending into the crowd at school and when we’re not among other Christians? Its a challenge.

It might seem like an incredible leap of faith which would be crazy to take, but truly, if its what we want, if we really want to choose this path, there is no grey area. To live to worship, you cannot be of the world. If you don’t want to be “different”, if you don’t want to seem what they think is strange, then forget it.

It sounds harsh and extreme. But its a war. And wars are just that.

Know who you are, and choose who you want to be. You are His beloved. You are His chosen one. You are His child. You are His sibling. You are His bride to be.

Understand who you are. Understand who you were chosen to be.
