Not of this World

Aren't you so glad that you are not of this world? Aren't you glad that this place most people call home isn't our home? I know I am! How many times have we been caught up in worldly situations that we ourselves couldn't have gotten out of? We are always struggling to be part of the world when we are not suppose to be!

Think about it, we are always trying to be very successful, be the light of the parties, have the coolest technology, wear only the best clothes, play the games everyone plays, watch the shows everyone watches, do only the coolest drugs, live only the worldly way.

We are in the world, not of it. It's okay that you watch tv or play music. It's okay to attend sporting events and go out to eat with your friends. You're not a bad person because of this but be aware to not be distracted. God wants you, all of you. He wants you to realize that you are His and everything you have is His. You made nothing for yourself and everything was made for you by Him. Don't be distracted by the parties, the glam, the electronics and all that. Be who God wants you to be, not what the world wants you to be.

John 15:19
"If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of this the world hates you."
