Set Apart

"I like your Christ, I don't like your Christians. They are nothing like your Christ"
-Mahatma Ghandi.
Isn't it true, Christians are supposed to mirror Christ, set apart by actions, words, faith, and purity. Yet many are no different than non-Christians.

Matthew 6:33(a)"But seek first HIS kingdom and HIS righteousness"

Shouldn't that be the goal of a Christian?? To first and foremost SEEK the kingdom of GOD and His righteousness. Many of us get so caught up in our bills, our friends, everything of THIS world. But Christ is not of this world, and yet that's where a most of our attention is. Our hearts need to be for God, and he will supply us with what we need. I invite you today if you haven't, just to pray, ask God into your life, to be your supplier, to help you find yourself in Him. People say to me, "there's something different about you, I don't know what it is?" and stuff like "I wish I could have what you have" and without really knowing what "it" is. When we devote ourselves to God, people start to wonder why we seem to be different from "normal" people.

Jeremiah 1:5(a) "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart."
