What is normal….

What is normal? Why do we strive for normal? What is it about blending in and not being noticed that becomes so appealing? God has great things for each person. For some reason or another we measure ourselves by the actions, accomplishments and beliefs of others. What is normal for someone else may be destructive and/or just plain wrong for you. I guess it's just easier to measure ourselves from those around us instead of spending time listening to the voice of our Creator. He is speaking. The easy way of measuring is not always the best way. I hope that I learn to take the time to hear from God about God's views on my life. How am I measuring up to His standards? Joining an authentic community of faith that will know you, love you and speak God's love to you is the only guarantee to cultivate God's expectancy's. A community that will not selfishly mold you into their image but allow God to challenge, change and shape you into the special and unique person that God has called you to be. If I pressure normalcy like me, that means I am insecure and need people to be like me to validate my calling and development. Hopefully, you will allow God to pull out of you your normal which is excellence. God desires to move each of us to His perfect will which is divine excellence. Remember, each one of us are great; some of just don't know it yet. God bless….
