Are Chrisians weird? No. Things are weird outside of their design, that is when we notice “weirdness.” It is God that declares a human being’s design, not the world. When I am obeying God, I am not weird, no matter how unusual I may be. The Creator is the One who has the right to say what is weird and what is not.
I find that if I am listening to the world, it is then that I am tempted to consider myself, and what I do as a Christian, as weird. But if I am listening to God, I understand that the things a person does, and the character they possess as they are filled by the Spirit, that is what is normal, that is what we were designed for.
It is important for me to recognize this distinction and stick with it. I will not find God communing with me over how ‘weird” Christians are; He does not agree. He sees His children obeying Him, and though they do things that are strange in the eyes of the world, it is those very things that God designed them for. And He delights in what is actually normal for His children.
If I find myself agreeing with the world’s definition of these things, then I struggle to live what should be normal, I am self-conscious to say those things that I have been created and designed to speak. Are you obeying God? Then you are living a normal life no matter how unusual it may be. Are you going your own way? It is then that you are “weird,” no matter how common your behavior might be.
Let us agree with God in word and deed. The fruits of the Spirit are normal living. We were made for them.
