I Am Called to Be Different

-

    For most of my life, I felt different. I don't compete with others, and I try not to compare myself to anyone because I've never felt like "most people." That has been true for as long as I can remember. For many years, though, I fought against that reality. I tried to fit in. I tried to be accepted. After experiencing ridicule and rejection, I thought that if I could become more like everyone else, maybe I would finally belong. But no matter how hard I tried, I was never truly accepted by the world. Ironically, I spent years longing for the very people and things that could never satisfy the deepest needs of my heart. Today, I can honestly say that has changed. I no longer desire many of the things the world once promised me. My identity is no longer found in people's approval but in being a child of God. I have learned that being different was never my weakness—it was part of God's design. He was separating me for His purposes long before I understood wh...

Trusting God’s Plan Over Our Own

-

 


Imagine, we've been trying to figure everything out on our own, while God already has a perfect plan for each and every one of us. We often find ourselves striving, worrying, and overthinking. We are reminded in Scripture to seek first the Kingdom, but what do we actually do? We create plans for every situation, every circumstance, every relationship.

We move from what we should do to what we think is best for us.

The world around us is filled with distractions—so many that they blur our focus and crowd our minds. Before we realize it, we’ve overlooked the very thing God has been trying to show us all along. We become busy trying to control outcomes instead of surrendering to divine order.

And still, God remains patient. Still, His plan does not fail.

The truth is, peace comes when we stop striving and start trusting. When we quiet the noise. When we return to Him—not just with our words, but with our obedience, our focus, and our faith.

Matthew 6:33 King James Version (KJV):

“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”

We spend so much time trying to plan our lives, figure out every situation, and fix what we don’t understand. But God already has a plan. He already knows the way.

Still, we get distracted—by life, by pressure, by our own thoughts—and we drift toward what we think is best. But Jesus reminds us:

When we shift our focus back to God, clarity comes.
When we prioritize His presence, distractions lose their power.
When we trust His plan over our own, peace follows.

Today, choose alignment over anxiety.
Choose God’s way over your own understanding.
Choose focus over distraction.
