1 Peter 2:9 declares "But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light..."
Many people do not recognize that they are called to be different. They desire to fit in with the crowd and do whatever they see the next person do, whether that be in fashion, sports, or watching reality television. Everyone wants to fit in so badly that they are willing to match another person's attempt to reach their level of greatness. The mistake that is made in this attempt is the desire to match. If you begin to match what a person does to make it in life without going through what they went through, you become a counterfeit. A counterfeit, no matter how you define it, is not a good thing. So, what should you do? Well, you should be UNCOMMON. How do we define the word uncommon? Being uncommon is being your own person. When you were a child I am sure you heard your parents say to you, "You can only be you. It does not matter what people think about you. You have to do what is best for you." Well, our parents ignited the uncommon mentality, but because we were uncomfortable in our own skin, we became comfortable trying to fit in. Well, it is time to change your mind and do what you feel, be UNCOMMON. You were in the darkness of being common, but guess what? You are called to be UNCOMMON. As the scripture above states, you are a PECULIAR people. What does peculiar mean? Let's Keep it simple, to be different. It is our call from God to be different. Please do not be afraid! Being UNCOMMON (Peculiar) looks good on YOU!!! Wear the colors that YOU like! Think the way that YOU like to think! Be the person that YOU want to be! Why? IT IS YOUR CALL TO BE UNCOMMON!
Be Uncommon!
God Bless You!
