This isn’t what we want to hear. But let this prayer Jesus prayed for us kindle up your courage to live like you are truly a citizen of heaven and not of this world.
“I have given them your word. And the world hates them because they do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world. I’m not asking you to take them out of the world, but to keep them safe from the evil one. They do not belong to this world any more than I do. Make them holy by your truth; teach them your word, which is truth. Just as you sent me into the world, I am sending them into the world. And I give myself as a holy sacrifice for them so they can be made holy by your truth. “I am praying not only for these disciples but also for all who will ever believe in me through their message. I pray that they will all be one, just as you and I are one—as you are in me, Father, and I am in you. And may they be in us so that the world will believe you sent me.” John 17:14-21 NLT
Following Jesus, being a Christian, makes you a bearer of the Word, Christ. People should be able to see Christ in you, not someone who is trying to blend in to culture, but one who stands out as different. #donotconformtotheworld #bearerofchrist #christianliving #notofthisworld #jesusistheway #yourjourneytobeingwhole #shalom #dailydevotional
