Sometimes it is easier to identify yourself as a member of a group. You don't have to worry about being the "only one" because everyone around you has some characteristic that makes them just like you. 1 Peter 1:9,10 say:
"9But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light: 10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy." (KJV)
No matter how much you may want to think that you are the same.... God has called you to be different. Never compromise your royalty for anything less than perfect.
Always remember God is love.
12 I don’t mean to say that I have already achieved these things or that I have already reached perfection. But I press on to possess that perfection for which Christ Jesus first possessed me. 13 No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, 14 I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us. Phillipians 3:12-14 (NLT)
Always remember God is love.
