The Courage To Be Different

the courage to be different to buck the status quo to be a child and disciple of the God that we all know I know what it's like to be young, I remember my childhood I remember all of those times, the bad and the good I remember what it's like to simply stand out to be different from everyone else who was about I remember all the shame, the heartache and all the pain I was tall for my age and always stood in the back of the line from kindergarten to way beyond junior high but not only was I tall but my family had little funds I missed out on a lot of things after all was said and done but I had the courage to be different for I had a dream that despite my circumstances I would achieve great things for God did single me out, He had me on His mind He made a way when I could see no way and His path I did find when I look at the youth of today, I see such anger and confusion demonic tattoos, prison mentality, living on celebrity illusion totally unaware that they're inviting danger from unknown and familiar strangers more concerned and worried about their appearance not having the courage to try and be different you don't need to run with a pack or hang out with a gang God has a blessing just for you that He has arranged yet He will allow the enemy to have a limited takeover but He will eventually intercede with an ultimate makeover just possess the courage and the faith to just believe that the Lord God can do anything you can perceive He burnt the meat, He burnt the wood, the rocks and the water in the trench God can do the impossible if you believe He can make a difference He will take you to another level, He will lift you up His power is omnipotent and will fulfill your spiritual cup for it's not about the world's window dressing that the Lord God finds impressing He cares not about your designer clothes nor the type of car you own He cares only that you believe in His Son, the crown, the cross and the throne He will overfill your treasure chest just shut up and let Him do the rest so raise your children to trust and believe in the Lord to have the courage to be different and the balls to get on board to march to the beat of a different drum to know that with God victory has been won to not have a spirit of fear to know God is always near that despite any failures, faults and all things disappointing that the Lord God can still bless them with an anointing for God has given them an inheritance and the courage to be different
