Did you know that you have been regenerated by His Holy Spirit? When you are in union with Him, His Spirit molds you into His image..in order that you may inwardly share His likeness. You no longer have to live by the flesh. You now live your life in His Spirit, which dwells in you, and directs your life.
You are different now because though you were born of the flesh, you were reborn of the Spirit of God when you opened your heart to Him. Others around you may not understand that He has made you a new creature in Christ. The world may not celebrate your new nature..but You..as His child..should never stop celebrating!
He is your Lord and Messiah..and you are His child..Not only are you His child..you are now a citizen of the kingdom of God. You are not an outsider or an alien to His kingdom. You are not excluded from the rights of heavenly citizenship. You are different from the world. You now share citizenship with the saints..His own people..consecrated and set apart. You belong to the household of God.
The world around you may groan, fight, destroy, complain, gossip, and hurt..serving satan's purposes..but YOU are different. You are not of the world. You are no longer bound by it's limits. You are no longer a slave to it. You are a child..of the Most High. Celebrate it. Rejoice that you are different. Rejoice that you partake in His divine nature. Rejoice that you are His.
