A Peculiar People

Titus 2:14 - Who gave Himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for Himself a people that are His very own, eager to do what is good.

Many of us have been called strange and unusual at times. This is a compliment for those who understand that what people are saying is they are having a difficult time understanding us.

God has called us His ‘peculiar’ people. We are His ‘peculiar treasures’. When the world looks at us, they see people who live life differently from them. They don’t understand us. We look and operate differently than the world. The world lives on a reverse system from ours, which is why they think we are strange and unusual. We confound their logical way of thinking because we do not act like them, when we are tried in the fires of adversity.

When we choose to rejoice in the midst of grief and difficulties, the world considers us unusual. What they don’t understand is that there is One who sustains us through it all. His name is Jesus!

We should be encouraged and celebrate who we are and know that we are amazing to God. He loves us as we are because we are just like Him!

Please ponder and meditate on this:

What makes me special to God and others?
