Going against the current

Today as i was driving to church(well my dad was driving)we went over a bridge with a river underneath. As i looked down onto the river, i saw this current it was no where else just this one section. So i was thinking that we do as Christians, well thats what we should be doing. Even though its hard well its meant to be hard we are not going with the world we are apart from it.

As it says in the bible in Romans 12:2 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is–his good, pleasing and perfect will.

and again it says being a light Matthew 5:16 In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.

So when we are born again into Christians we get this light, we now go against the current of the world. yes its hard nothing in this life is easy but i can tell you it will be a whole lot easier with God as the center, because when he is the center everything falls into place. So my challenge for you is to try and go against the current because you make a difference when you do.
