DO NOT CONFORM!!!

Do not bend your principles, do not kill your dreams, or change your behavior because of the tradition of this world.
Yes, your idea might be controversial but God gave you that dream, He gave you that vision and He will see you through.
Many a times I’ve stifled my voice, shut down my ideas because someone or a group of people weren’t on board with it.
I’ve plunged my ideas, shoved them down the drain because society didn’t accept them but no more!
No more will I do that! And I want you to stand up for you.
Do you remember Joseph in the Bible?
He had dreams, dreams of being great but those dreams weren’t accepted by those around him.
Or what about David? The boy who told his brothers that he was going to bring down a giant and they all laughed at him.
If Jesus, King of Kings o, will be rejected by people, how much more you?
The people will speak and so what?
Sponsors may not align with your vision and so what?
Those who go on to become great don’t do so by doing the same thing the world does and that is why they stand out.
In a world full of darkness, they stand and they shine bright.
The custom may be to dim your light, to dip your bulb in ink and make it go black but let your light shine.
You were born to shine, Jesus says so in Matt 5:14 - 16
” Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”
They may cover theirs up but let your light shine, let it glow for all to see.
Run with that vision again
Dream again and don’t stop till it’s fulfilled.
Yes! We won't let society dictate our dreams!
