I listened to a sermon by Steve Furtick and he was talking about the weirdoes.

I was always the weird one in school. People never like taking to me and I was always left to be isolated and bullied. It's ironic because I've always cared for people and am very friendly.

Anyway Steve Furtick said this: The thing that makes me weird to you makes me wonderful to God! I really loved this saying and could see it in my own life. Going back to high school I remember simply not caring to pray for people in school that were hurting and witnessing to those who desired to know God, I was bold to say the least! And it all had to do with the mindset, they already don't like me and already think I'm weird, so I'm going to give them something to really talk about!

Anyone else can look and see, how God used you, the weirdo?

We're all weirdoes one way or another. Normal is only the cycle on the washing machine.

I Corinthians 1:27
Instead, God chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise. And he chose things that are powerless to shame those who are powerful.

Yes God uses all people to do His will here on earth, and like the bible says He loves to use the those who are meek to make those who believe they are something do to pride, over education, think to be wise; to look foolish.
The bible says to study and meditate on His word, yet in studying to become wise in His ways He says to seek out the knowledge through Him and not man made systems. As if you come to Him in prayer He will give you the knowledge you seek through His Holy Spirit.........

1 Corinthians 4:16
Therefore I exhort you, be imitators of me.

1 Corinthians 11:1
Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ.

Always good to look at the men who were the trailblazers. Jesus used tax collectors, shepherds, fishermen, carpenters. They were a bunch of weirdoes themselves. :)

Jesus was all about empowering the unaccepted to minister. Very cool stuff. :)

You're calling ME a weirdo?

That's a bit presumptuous.
