Hello all, i hope that you are well.
Firstly i would like to say thank you to all those whom participated in my last post.
Before accepting (knowingly) the holy spirit and accepting Jesus as my Lord and saviour i had always felt different ( i still do, but in a good way) to those around me. even as a kid, i never felt like i fit in with my friendship group and that i was always having to act differently to how i felt, because, i thought/ knew somehow that if i was honest that i would be rejected.
So my question is this: is this feeling common to all people, or is this more of a feeling that born again (in particular) christians feel i.e. that as God knows everything from all of time does God make us not fit in with the world in order to make accepting Him easier? so that even before we have the holy spirit, God has already singled us out for salvation and this effects us (makes us diffent to the cultire) even before we recive the holy spirit?
Hope this makes sense and you know what i mean.
