SET APART

Today's reading: Leviticus 19-21

"You must be holy because I, the Lord, am holy. I have set you apart from all other people to be my very own." Leviticus 20:26 NLT

Honestly, I spent a whole lot of my early life trying to fit in.

Trying to be 'enough' to hang with the cool kids.

Attempting to involve myself in activities that made me popular.

Giving too much concern about the sideways glances of folks whose morals I didn't like or believe in.

I wasted a lot of time and energy and tears trying to fit in where I was never, ever, intended to belong.

As God's daughter, I am not to fit in anywhere on this earth.

I am not to be 'like everyone else'.

I'm not even supposed to get really comfortable during this journey through life.

Because I am set apart.

I am unique.

I am made for a better place.

Oh, I'm not saying that out of vanity, pride or haughtiness--I'm only saying what my Father has said about me!
