Portland, Oregon
I was cruising my way through the middle level of the Lloyd Center mall when I noticed these young martial arts students making their way to who-knows-where. Their presence seemed out of place. They weren't there to buy jewelry, pick back to school clothes or even purchase toys. They were there to practice their craft.

"But we are citizens of heaven, where the Lord Jesus Christ lives. And we are eagerly waiting for him to return as our Savior." Philippians 3:20 New Living Translation
Through our redemption in Christ, we don't have the same goals as others. Our purpose in life is rooted in the fact that we are "citizens of heaven" and not citizens of the world. Our purpose is different.Our values are different. Our goals are different.
We're martial arts students walking through the mall of life.
As I observed these children it didn't seem to bother them that they stood out from the rest of us. By God's grace may we have that same confidence as we walk through life.
