I had a wonderful privilege this morning to go with Abby Rae (my oldest daughter) to school today. She attends Culpeper Christian School. Every Wednesday, the school hosts a chapel service where a message is shared with the students to plant Biblical Truth in their lives.
This morning, I was asked to share the message. I had a great time sharing the message of Ephesians 2:10 to the students through a parable of a boy named George who was challenged over and over again to "fit in" with the trends in his culture. The parable found George submitting to peer pressure to balance cucumbers, bananas and eggs on his forehead while trying to walk. Needless to say, George's life became a real mess, literally! Balancing food on our foreheads sure sounds silly, but, if we're honest, some of the things we do to "fit in" are just as silly.
The moral of the story is that God created us all uniquely just as we are so that we can fulfill our own unique purposes and plans that God ordained just for us long ago. When we change to "fit in" we're abandoning God's plans for us and denying the value of the masterpiece He created in us.
