Weird

by Bruce Wadd  

 

You see them quite regularly, particularly in cities.  Teenagers, mainly, endeavouring to discover their uniqueness.  And it shows up in all sorts of weird and wonderful hairstyles, body piercings, clothing choices, tattoos etc!

 

What are they trying to say? To others? To themselves? Aren’t they trying to define themselves, as unique and different from the rest of the society they live in?

 

They are to be praised. Congratulated!  They have understood more than most, the true meaning of God working in people’s lives.

 

We, as Christians, are challenged to be different… unique… weird… new…! It is not necessarily referring to only outward behaviour.  God wants to work on changes from the inside out!

 

Are you conforming to what others say about how you should act as a Christian?  Or are you following God’s new design for your life?

 

“Don’t copy the behaviour and customs of this world, but be a new and different person with a fresh newness in all you do and think.  Then you will learn from your own experience how His ways will really satisfy you.” 

Romans 12:2

 

TODAY, be weird… in God!
