YOU WERE NEVER MEANT TO BLEND IN

‎So, I found myself reflecting as I scrolled through social media. I saw people, especially ladies, doing things that, honestly, felt so foreign to me. Things I wouldn’t dare try. Out of curiosity, I imagined myself doing the same, but almost instantly, something inside me recoiled. It just didn’t sit right.‎Then a thought crossed my mind: “Why does this feel so abnormal to me?” After all, to them, this is their normal. They’re living their lives, having fun, enjoying themselves. In their world, I’d probably be the odd one out. So what makes me see their choices differently?‎At that moment, a scripture came to mind: “They that compare themselves with others are not wise.” (2 Corinthians 10:12).‎I paused and thought deeper. Truth is, I’ve had chances to live like that, nobody’s stopping me. It’s my life, right? I could decide to “let loose” and maybe people would leave me to my choices after a while. But even then, the idea still felt… repulsive. It wouldn’t click.‎It’s funny, isn’t it? Sometimes you wonder why you can’t just blend in, why even trying to act “bad” feels unnatural. You see others doing it effortlessly, and you’re like, “I can do this too!” But deep down, you know you can’t. Even when you fall short and slip into sin, the guilt comes rushing in. The thought of going deeper into it irritates you.‎And here’s the funny part, some of us felt this way even before we truly gave our lives to Christ. There was always this inner restraint, this invisible line you couldn’t cross. Looking back, I realize it’s because, like Jeremiah, you were set apart from the very start.‎It’s almost like God looking at you saying, “Not under my watch.” You might wander, but it’s never for long. There’s something over your life, something He’s rooting for. You’re not ordinary, so even what seems “normal” to others will never feel normal to you.‎A popular preacher once shared how he tried to join the “bad guys” in his youth, but even they rejected him because he just didn’t fit in. I laughed because I could relate. I remember times I tried to blend in, but people would still call me names like “Mummy G.O” or “Mary Amaka”, even when I wasn’t preaching! I’d think, “I want to be like you guys. Why the rejection?”‎But now I get it, it’s the “set apart” factor. So don’t be discouraged when they call you weird or treat you like you don’t belong. Don’t feel bad if no matter how hard you try, you just can’t fit into their cycle. My dear, your place is already reserved. Like Jeremiah, you’ve been set apart. And no matter how far you run, you’ll always find your way back to God.‎So smile, embrace your uniqueness, and wear your “weird” like a crown, you’re not going anywhere outside God’s plan. 😂✌️‎Stay inspired and uplifted!
