#Are_You_Normal?
NORM-al PEOPLE, as I always refer them to be - or those (majority of) people you understand to always follow norms; the popular and conventional lifestyle, live most of their lives in pretence and deceit. The real normal people don't pretend; they don't fake it; they don't try to impress people by being pretencious. They are just themselves and they make positive impacts in an unusual way. You will never make any notable impact on others when you live your life consistently in pretence and by faking things up! Believe me, this I know by practice and through careful study. Are you still faking some things in your lives? Then you are not normal, you only follow the norm.
Let's do a quick check on what the scriptures says in Ephesians 6:5-9, it says, "Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart; with good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men: knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free. And, ye masters, do the same things unto them. And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him".
Keywords from this scriptures - NOT WITH EYE SERVICE. NOT AS MENPLEASERS. But AS UNTO GOD. With GOODWILL. With FEAR and TREMBLING. FROM THE HEART, With SINGLENESS OF YOUR HEART. NEITHER IS THERE RESPECT OF PERSONS!
That was God's command to us, not mine, not your pastor's, not that of your boss. So, next time before you embark on any decision, assignment, service or project, ask yourself, am I doing this thing to be seen, respected, or rated serious? - or just for what it should be; *simply as unto God! Norm-al (general majority) people that do norms usually feign many things, including love.. what a trajedy! This category of people are really not normal, but in this world they are deemed to be the norm-al ones, because they do and follow after the worldly NORMS. Ó màá şe o (what a pity)!
Below are few Tips On - Being REAL & NORMAL: Don't act nice, be nice. Don't look or sound righteous, be it. Never act smart, be smart. Don't feign love or be expressing abstract verbal love, but love, indeed. Don't just look serious, especially when being observed, better get serious! Don't fake being Christian, be a true Christian. Don't ever give because others are, and you don't want to be singled out, see, if it's not from your heart - just keep it! Don't sound intelligent, be really intelligent. Don't mingle with people just for you to be noticed & loved, do it for you to show love and care for them.
Philipians 4:8 - Be real. Be nice. Be good. Be correct. But please, don't do NORMS. NORM-al people are not normal!
Are you normal? God bless you.
