would you consider your life normal?
what is normal, anyway?
is it the typical "american dream"? - having a three bedroom two bathroom house, two and a half children, a dog or two, a relatively nice car.
the thing about normal is there is no such thing.
what is normal for one person is not normal for another, and vise-versa.
normal has become a "standard" of which we compare our lives and selves to others.
to make a cliche about how our world has become through this "norm standard", "the grass is always greener on the other side". we are always wanting what other people have, because we want a better, nicer life. a "normal" life.
if there such a thing as normal, then why is there different classes of people, different stereotypes, different goals, etc.?
is there such thing as normal?
if there is, i don't want it.
i don't want to succumb to the worldly desires. to melt into anothers way of living. if there was a normal, we would simply be robots with no reason for living.
if you believe in the very alive-and-present God, you should not be living a normal life.
when God moves, lives and breathes in you, you no longer will be known as you once were. God hates the normal. simply because He is not.
God called us to live supernormal lives.
we have to live a normal life if we don't let God control it.
nothing in our power will make our lives any different than the old lady in the grocery store.
when you follow Jesus, there is a passion to reach higher and do more than a mere human could do. that desire is there for a reason.
if we have the answer, are we just going to keep living our lives like the "normal" people do?
if no one does anything, how do we expect to take the world for our Lord?
when we live like the world, we belittle and degrade our Father, who is nothing like we are.
i pray that we give up our ordinary, regular, normal lives to the God who can make something out of nothing. who takes the ordinary and upgrades to the extraordinary. the normal to the supernormal. ~ romans 4:17~
how do we live different, you ask?
we get rid of the natural and enter in to the super natural. simply, change your realms of living. no longer will we think, act, talk, or do like our self, we will move with and in God. he will move and work through us. that is the only way we will ever be able to have victory. the only way we can do anything.
are you apart of this complacent stereotype?
