Different

   Jesus calls us to be holy. That literally translates to being different. Being different as Jesus was different. Not alot of people will willingly get on a cross and die for a bunch of people who claim to love them, or maybe even not, so that they may be saved.
   Not alot of people would have the dedication to get up every Sunday morning and join the fellowship of believers in body and in spirit every week to worship the Lord together.
   Not alot of people would have wrong done to them and turn the other cheek in forgiveness in the hopes that the love and forgiveness of God may shine upon them.
   Not alot of people would give another human being time, that can not be given back, to invest in someone. Others would not spend a day or two just pouring love and wisdom into someone else's life so that they may be better equipped to follow the instructions of Christ.
   But this is what we do, as followers of Christ. We take the time to invest in others, we forgive showing the love and forgiveness of Christ. We turn from the ways of the world out of the return of the Love of the Father in our lives. We are different!
