Be Original

Like Jesus, I dare to be different! I am transformed by the renewing of my mind.

Are you afraid to be different? Do you copy the behavior of others, the customs of others, the thoughts of others? We are told in the Scriptures that we should not conform to the world, but rather be a new and a different person by renewing our mind.

Yes, it is easy to conform. It is harder to be different—to think fresh new thoughts of our own. How exciting life becomes when we do cease to conform and begin to see life in a new light. When others say, “It can’t be done,” how wonderful to know that it can! When others say, “What would the neighbors say?” how free we are if we can only be concerned with what God reveals to us.

Jesus dared to be different. He startled the people of His day. He was criticized by the masses, but it did not matter to Him, for He was standing on a solid foundation. It is not important to be different just for the sake of being different, but if standing for Truth at all times makes you different—know that you too are standing on the solid rock foundation.

Be transformed by the renewing of your mind. (Romans 12:2)
