The Martian

I was watching a movie today but I can't remember the name. It was about a man that adopted a very odd little boy from an orphanage, the boy believed he was from Mars.

His new dad went through so much work and counseling to try and convince him otherwise. Finally his dad was very upset with him and the boy asked, "Is it good to be like everybody else?" Then it went to the next scene.

We live in a society where many times we are convinced it's good to be like everybody else. Many times when we discuss our faith with non-believers we get looks like were telling them we think we're from another planet.

We can't let it stop us though, Matthew 5:10 says "Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."

I believe that genuiness can set the world free. Free from the restraints of conforming. Free from the restraints of tunnel vision perspectives.

But most of all, free from the restraints on the uniqueness that God has given each and everyone of us to live out His greatest purpose, love.
