Romans 12:2 "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."
Each day, I receive a scripture verse on my igoogle page. I love to read and ponder the verse of the day. Today's verse is one of my favorite verses so I thought I'd share it with you.
It reminds me that it's ok to be different- not emo different or worldly different but different from the rest of the world. What does this mean to me? I can go without listening to the world's standard of good music, I can pray in a restaurant and not feel awkward, I can dress modest at a soccer game or Disney World, I can limit the amount and type of tv or movies that my children watch. I can speak differently than the world, I can open up my Bible and read while watching my girls practice their gymnastics. I can sing hymns and praises to my Lord and not worry about how bad I sing because I am doing it for His glory.
This verse reminds me that I need to renew myself in the Lord daily. I need to study God's Word, pray and seek Him more and more each day so I can be a changed (transformed) person. All so I can have my greatest desire... to continually be in the perfect will of God.How do you know what the will of God is for your life? All of the answers are in one great Book. People question...How will I know? How do I know which path to take to stay in God's will? The answer is found in that Book. Keep the lines of communication open by praying and reading His Word and through the Word, He will lead you and keep you in His will.

You are so right on target! It is not only okay to be different - it is wise:-)
I'm "different" too and I feel so freed from worrying about what the world thinks of me.
Blessings.
