We can say "NO"!

I read this scripture this morning:

Titus 2: 11-14 "For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope—the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for Himself a people that are His very own, eager to do what is good."

Just sharing the fact that it is very possible to say NO to certain things that our peers are involving themselves with. Set yourselves aside and be smart. If you can't be different and you feel like you have to be just like everybody else, even without knowing why, then you're taking away from the very special person God created you to be. You were created to be royal, and not common...

And sometimes it feels lonely to be the odd one out....

Have a great day!
