What Makes You Different?

Can the world around you tell the difference? That's the thought that was on my mind this morning as I pondered my paths in life, often wondering if I am doing enough or making a difference to someone else. Then it hit me, when I die (as we'll all do), what will I be remembered for? Who will attend my funeral? Will they be there out of what they see as an obligation? Would they be reduced to tears at the loss of my life? Will they celebrate me, or pity me (there is a difference) due to my falling short of my human potential?

Will there be someone there who will speak of how different I was in this crazy world in which we live? Or will I be eulogized as the rest; someone who followed the pack…living like a devil while the preacher tries his best to convince everyone in attendance that God will accept my wicked soul so that THEY could feel better about my end, as well as themselves?

While thinking this way, I then thought that WHATEVER my answers to those questions were, God has blessed me with the power of choice to change whatever it is in my life that I do not like. Not only has He endowed me with this power of choice, but He has also given me His Spirit, which will lead me into all truth. However, I don't always know which choice is right for my life. You see, the Bible says that ‘There is a way which SEEMETH right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death'. (Proverbs 14:12) This should be a warning to all of us who think we have it all figured out.

We secretly think its okay to mix a little of the world with our Christian walk. We love to listen to certain secular songs, we smoke and drink, we even let a cussword or two slip during conversations with the lost. We sometimes go the extra mile to prove to the world that we are just like them in order to be accepted. However, the Bible says that ‘Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.' (James 4:4)

That is a strong scripture for us all – for to be an enemy of God is a dangerous thing. Some of us (myself included) like to believe that if no one sees us, that we'll be okay…not knowing that God sees EVERYTHING…Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in His sight: but ALL THINGS ARE NAKED AND OPENED unto the eyes of Him with whom we have to do. (Hebrews 4:13) Trust me, there isn't a thought of the heart or action of the body that our God does not see.

So, if this be the case, and as we see the time drawing to a close – shouldn't we be taking our lives much more seriously? Do you know who you're hurting with your actions and words? Someone could be looking at us when we are acting as the world and say to themselves "if that is what being a Christian is all about, I want nothing to do with it". (Think about that). You could very well be leading someone AWAY from Christ…And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of ANTICHRIST, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. (1 John 4:3)

Today, take heed to your thoughts. I'm sure that you've read before that our thoughts become actions, right? Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5). We have a responsibility to uphold if we confess Christ as our Lord and Savior. Get off the fence, tell someone about Jesus; but most of all ask yourself – do you love Him today? If ye love me, keep my commandments. (John 14:15).

Let go of the world brothers and sisters and meditate on how powerful this scripture is:

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a NEW creature: OLD THINGS ARE PASSED AWAY; behold, all things are become new. (2 Corinthians 5:17)

In Jesus' name.
