Being a young Christian in modern society is so hard; it's like an uphill battle, and you never know where you fit in. When I was living for the world, it was much easier because I could follow my own carnal desires without thinking about the spiritual consequences. Now that I am deliberately trying to live for the Lord, I am constantly fighting my flesh. I still deal with moments of lukewarmness. However, my belief in Jesus means I'm not always going to fit in at the places I used to. It means I'm no longer going to blend in with the crowd, and I was never supposed to. When you come to Christ, your life is supposed to change. People are supposed to look at you and think, "Huh, that's weird. Why is she not doing what everyone else is doing?" Unfortunately, most of us modern Christians still blend in with the crowd; it's almost impossible to tell the difference between us and the world. I have struggled with this in the past, and I still struggle with it. However, giving my life to Christ was the best decision I've ever made, and I'm madly in love with Jesus. Every day, I fall more and more in love with who He is and what He represents. It was when I finally surrendered that I began to hear His voice clearly.
