Are you trying to fit in or STAND OUT?!🤷🏽‍♀️🤔
We live in such a time that people choose to do whatever it takes to “fit in”. From finding the right look, to hanging with the right crowd, to keeping up with the “Jones”🙄.
In my experience.....whenever we try to keep up, we then trade our peace with anxiety, our acceptance for disappointment, and our contentment for worry.
One of the greatest compliments you can receive is that you are different. Believe me.
In the picture you may see just apples🍏🍏🍏🍎.....but I see more (PERSPECTIVE). I see who GOD created me to be. I see that there is no one else in this world like Nedra
As a child of GOD, we are created to be set apart and not a “cookie cut out” of who and what the world (social media, friends,etc) says we should be. The renewing of your mind puts you on a different path than the world around you. Those connected will notice. That is the way you STAND OUT.
A Few EXAMPLES:
•Instead being silent about something that makes you uncomfortable; use your voice ~STAND OUT
•Instead of having sex with him to keep him or prevent the risk of losing his interest; I will wait for the one who sees my WORTH. ~STAND OUT (I’ve been here)
•Instead of having a BIG wedding to show the world; Do what’s pleasing to you and your spouse. ~ STAND OUT
•Instead of responding to that messy text “belittling” someone’s character; take the high road and speak life into that situation. ~ STAND OUT
•Instead of avoiding certain things in public, so others won’t know you’re affiliated; be BOLD. ~STAND OUT
•Yes I’ve made many mistakes, bad choices, etc; I CHOOSE to live for GOD now ~STAND OUT
STAND OUT SHE DECLARED WAR🎯
Reference : Matthew 5:16 NIV ~ “In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”
Reference : Romans 12:2 NIV ~ “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.”
