Others can, i can't... (Part 2)
What does it mean to be set apart?
We are set apart to live a Godly lifestyle. Like the examples i gave in the earlier post, the things that i can't do are those which hurt others and doesn't bring glory to God. In the bible, beattitudes talks about all the lifestyle that we got to embrace to live our lives for God and they are suppose to be the foundation of our character.
Yet, many people complains about the sacrifices they made and compares themselves with others. Sometimes they even got bitter and upset with man and with God that others are succeeding in life.
But to be set apart doesn't mean that you become exclusive, excluding yourself from everyone else or excluding others. But instead, it is to be inclusive of others through your lifestyle of holiness.
Did not the bible say that "If anyone serves Me, my Father will honor"?
so STOP COMPARING! Don't be like Peter who will ask Jesus, "what about John?"
What the Lord have spoken to others got NOTHING to do with you! You have your calling and your destiny in God.
Many people look at what others does and try to do what others are doing. God gave each of us talents, so make use of what God have given you and make them fruitful, not what you do not have.
