maybe i dont mind being me

Cade: hey

Auto response from FF PaLaDiN UD: im tried of being different

Cade: at least you aren't boring
Cade: at least you don't do the same thing every day, day in, day out
Cade: at least people remember you, really remember you
Cade: at least you care about people :-)
Cade: at least you have to worry less about being sucked in to the easy malaise we all fall into where what is common is what is god
Cade: (which it isn't :-))
Cade: as unfair as it can seem, you're difference is here for a reason
Cade: what did Christ say about salt?
Cade: Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. (Matthew 5:11-12)
Cade: I know
Cade: it's hard
Cade: deep inside you just want it to be easy, to just skate through and be popular
Cade: but you're cut out for something deeper
Cade: it's like tea vs soda
Cade: soda is extremely sweet and tastes really good
Cade: but there's very little to it
Cade: and in the long run it'll rot your teeth
Cade: tea is kind of bitter
Cade: but is ultimately a much more satisfying drink
Cade: I know it is silly for me to lecture about how you should be happy to be different
Cade: but you have a courage I've never been able to muster without great consternation
Cade: I can barely find the ability to open my mouth when I think the Word should be defended to somebody
Cade: you air opinions that are extremely unpopular but you throw your whole weight behind them because you believe them
Cade: even if people give you shit
Cade: be glad you have that courage, I have a feeling that God will count your courage much higher than he will count my cowardice
Cade: the world needs you
Cade: God needs you to be you
Cade: without you, without that difference in the world, without that friction that originates with God, the world would never know him
Cade: *Him
Cade: Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. (Matthew 6:11-12)

Cade: if nothing else, at least this
Cade: As your life goes by, whereas most people kind of wander through with this inexplicable feeling, barely noticeable, that there is a hole, a vital peice missing
Cade: you won't have this problem
Cade: you'll have God, who persists through all time
Cade: when all pleasures and fun and notions fade, God will still be there
Cade: and at the end, when you face the Lord, you'll be able to sit with him in joy and peace
Cade: I hope I helped
Cade: nobody is without friends Sherol, there are many who love you just because you are you
