What does the Bible say about being different?
If you think about it we are all different. God created us all with unique features, personalities, and traits. Give thanks to God because He created you to do great things.
You will never accomplish those great things by being the same as the world.
Do not do what everyone else does do what God wants you to do.
If everyone is living for material things, live for Christ. If everyone else is being rebellious, live in righteousness.
If everyone else is in darkness remain in the light because Christians are the light of the world.

If your gift is serving others, serve them well. If you are a teacher, teach well. If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging. If it is giving, give generously. If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibility seriously. And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly.
2. 1 Peter 4:10-11 God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another. Do you have the gift of speaking? Then speak as though God himself were speaking through you. Do you have the gift of helping others? Do it with all the strength and energy that God supplies. Then everything you do will bring glory to God through Jesus Christ. All glory and power to him forever and ever! Amen.
