Romans 12:2, KJV: "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." ... Then you will learn to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect."

It is often preached that its about not living like non Christians live. But I just realized that there's the mechanism part in there, "transformed by the renewing of your mind", "prove", "you will learn". OMG! Its exactly the opposite of what was suggested or what I believed was suggested all this time... Its about thinking for yourself.
Basically dia bilang, jangan ikut ikutan.
(Jangan ikut ikutan cuma karena populer harusnya, tapi pikir sendiri dan perbarui pikiran)
The point of view of the powerful, and the formula of the esteemed, is not superior to the Truth of your daily matters.
Of course don't cross the line beyond your reach, but just being a "sheep" as the way people mocked us to be, is actually not any different.
Following Jesus is about picking up our own cross, not the standardized cross people who couldn't possibly know about us imposed upon us. Why would you be a muscle cell while God made you to be a lipid cell? Why insult lipid cells for not being muscle-like while all have their own purpose.
We would never be a part of the body of Christ if we were not who we are.
So be who you are, you're not a machine for some pride of a race, or a group who don't even care about who you are individually. When you are who you really are as an individual, then you'll naturally fit with the rest of the body of God... Truthfully, in Christ
