i.e. It would be harder for you if you didn't fit in because you had long stringy hair, no makeup, etc, but rather you have taken the "easy route" by looking normal.

I believe our behavior should cause us to stand out from society. I don't think we should wear our religion on our sleeves. I remember how my wife and I used to parade through the mall like we were the Islamic Mutawwa'în. We felt like we were "shining the light" when most people just thought we were part of a cult. Today the Lord has shown me that it's not so much in how you look (yes modesty is important) but it's primarily in how you speak to people and how you treat people. It's in the acts of compassion that are an inconvenience that people truly see Jesus in you.
