'who i am in christ'
Set Apart
You are set apart, purposefully created unique, and unlike anyone else. You are not only hand chosen by our God, but He set you apart for his purpose. If for any reason you are not seeing this, if you are not recognizing how special you are, perhaps you are complying with the world's way? Maybe you are conforming to what everyone else is doing and just fitting in?
​
Satan can maneuver in subtle ways. He blurs the edges just a bit and slowly blends together how you appear with everybody else. Quietly changing how you act, how you speak, and softening your convictions to the point that people see little difference between you and the non-believer. Harsh as it may read, it's right here that you take a bold stand.
​
Boldly embrace that you are set apart. When others submit to the majority sounding critical, stand firm. Be the exact opposite! Be the beacon of optimism. When others sound soured by life, bouncing from one negative to the next, be the mouthpiece for positivity and encouragement. God set you apart, now lean into your role to deliver hope at every turn.
"Jesus, thank you for setting me apart! Thank you for hand selecting me to be unique and uncommon. Help me to stand strong as an encourager, instilling Your hope and positivity in everyone You place in my path. I love you Jesus, Amen!"
​
Jeremiah 1:5 (NIV)
"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations."
​
Hebrews 10:10 (GW)
"We have been set apart as holy because Jesus Christ did what God wanted him to do by sacrificing his body once and for all."
​
Deuteronomy 14:2 (NLT)
"You have been set apart as holy to the Lord your God, and he has chosen you from all the nations of the earth to be his special treasure."
