I'm so HOT! - Intro
"I'm so hot!" series, why? I believe what we achieve in life is influence by how we see ourselves. Often we identify ourselves with what we do; in church or at work. But that what we do and not who we are. What we do is only a subset of who we are. Who are we really?
These days, everyone seems to be fighting for the right to be an individual, to be different from others. They adorned themselves with body piercing that hangs from every part of the bodies, the hair colour with more range than the rainbow. Why? To be different, to be an individual that non-conforms to society but in so doing, actually fits into society. But being an individual is to stand out, knowing one's identity allows us to feel comfortable with ourselves and who we are, so we are able to stand when things gets tough.
Sometimes it seems our identity is lost in what society thinks we should be. If so, as Christians, how do we response to that? We are supposed to be different. We are supposed to shine in this world. The funny thing is that people are trying hard to be individuals but by the same process, becoming more conformed to society to what society expects. I believe the reason is that individualism does not start from the external but it is an internal process.
Who are you when no one is looking? What identifies who we are? We need to go back to the truth of what God says about you. Believe me, what God says about you is much better than what anyone else says about you.We are unique made by a loving God, so we are able to be put together to form a beautiful bigger picture.
