Bless that which you want. if you see a person with a beautiful home, bless that person and bless that home. if you see a person with a beautiful car, bless that person and bless that car. if you see a person with a loving family, bless that person and bless that family. if you see a person with a beautiful body, bless that person and bless their body.

In his essay 'self-reliance' emerson wrote, 'whoso would be a man must be a nonconformist.' the apostle paul reminds us that whoso would be a christian must also be a a nonconformist. any christian who blindly accepts the opinions of the majority and in fear and timidity follows a path of expediency and social approval is a mental and spiritual slave.
