Do you feel out of place as a Christian? I suspect you sometimes do. I think everyone, at some time in their lives, feels like a misfit within the Church. I do. Often. Believe me, I have my stories.
We are all different kinds of Christians. We are different due to upbringing, personalities, genetics, differing passions, and the like. Many times we will get discouraged because of our differences. Sometimes we ask ourselves “What is wrong with me?”
Here are some of the feelings that you might have.
* I don’t like to fellowship with other believers very much, whats wrong with me?
* I haven’t felt the presence of God like others do, what’s wrong with me?
* I don’t love to read my Bible like other Christians do, what’s wrong with me?
* The Lord’s supper/Eucharist is not a spiritual experience for me like it is for others, what’s wrong with me?
* I am not very emotional, what’s wrong with me?
* I hate the way Christians talk, what’s wrong with me?
* I can’t keep my kids under control, what’s wrong with me?
* I am not very nice and talkative, what’s wrong with me?
* I dread going to prayer groups, what’s wrong with me?
* I ask too many questions and have too many doubts, what’s wrong with me?
* I don’t have a good marriage like other Christians do, what’s wrong with me?
* I am scared to death to pray in public, what’s wrong with me?
* I find it hard to pray for other people, what’s wrong with me?
* I don’t like to study, what’s wrong with me?
* I am addicted to so many things, what’s wrong with me?
* I am so pessimistic about things, what’s wrong with me?
* I am depressed all the time, what’s wrong with me?
The simple fact is that we are not yet dressed for heaven. Not only this, but we are all wearing different clothes. Not only this, but the Holy Spirit does not seem intent to dress us in a uniform way. Not only this, but some of us feel like we are wearing our underwear on the outside of our pants. Yeah, it is awkward. . . .
