Living like everyone else???

What about my life says that I am different than the world?  When you look at other people, even those who don't know God but are good people, how is my life different.  God promised us that we would have the Holy Spirit living in us, that we would be free from the chains of sin, that we would live a life of victory because of the shed blood of Christ.  

So now the question is... "Am I living differently than the world?"  Do I live in a supernatural way, a way that screams something is different (because of God is my life) or am I just a good person, trying with all that I have to live good?  I am tired of just living good.  I am tired of living like everone else.  I want my life to be supernatural through the Spirit of God.  that only happens with dependance and relationship with God.  

God, help me to live in whatever way helps my life be a conduit for you and brings you the most glory.

Unconditional Love

So I'm reading in Luke today and a small phrase stands out...Jesus knew their thoughts... for some reason this made me stop. I have known for a long time that God knows what you are thinking and stuff but wait a minute.

Jesus knows when I am riding high feeling good about my walk with him and when I am turning away, even for a brief moment to do my own thing. What even more amazing is that He still loves me.

So here is my question, "How can you love when you know everything about me?" I don't deserve this kind of love for sure. I guess that's what makes it unconditional
