Most people don't like to feel out of place or like they don't fit where they are. How would you feel, for example, if you were wearing your best Hawaiian hula skirt to the fall dance at school? Probably a little self-conscious and awkward.
But when it comes to followers of Jesus relating to the world around them, we should feel out of place. This world is broken and it's running by the rules of sin right now. We are following the rules and lifestyle of God's Kingdom. Those two don't fit together at all. It's a tough line to walk between wanting to connect with and reach out to non-Christians and beginning to act and look like one of them.
- Examine your life. Based on your life, would anyone guess that you're a follower of Jesus?
- If you are blending too much with the world around you, ask God to show you what needs to change.
