That Girl

I’ve noticed a trend of people doing their best to be “that” girl. The girl other girls want to be. The girl with her life together. The girl that gets noticed.

It’s natural for our hearts to feel that way – the way we crave attention, wanting others to see us and like us. It fills that need to be appreciated, impressive, important, but it’s only temporary. There will always be someone new to catch people’s eye. Some who dresses better, has a better skincare routine, nicer home, is more well-spoken, has more likes, more friends, more followers.

So is that it? Is life about being her or is it about Him?

As much as attention and applause can temporarily fill the holes in our hearts, only in glorifying Christ do we fill those places with joy and contentment only He can give.

I want the Lord to tear down my pride and make my life reflect Him. Instead of searching for a way for people to know my name, I want them to know His name. After all, my name won’t do much, but His name will change their lives and eternity.

I want the Lord to take my life and make it about Him. I I don’t want to be so focused on being “that” girl that I fail to remember what’s important I want to make His name known, not mine. And mostly, I never want be the one standing in the way of someone else’s view of Jesus.
