Yesterday, I went to the mall with Jordan & Susie and the girls in the house. The plan was to meet them at the carousel, so I was just standing there watching all the cute kids that were on it. This family gets in line and the mom says to me, "Are you in line?" I assured her that I was not in line. She then replies with, "Oh, okay, so you're just taking up space then."

Even though that was pretty rude, it got me thinking... Is it possible for someone to be living their life for them to be merely taking up space? What would that look like? What type of life would that actually be?

In this life, we have a purpose and a reason for our existence. That reason is to know God, glorify Him, and shed light to others so that they may live for these reasons as well. I realize that my life might not look like this all the time... I can try, but there are definitely times in my life that I am not trying. It is then that our lives may appear that we are just "taking up space"..... Yet, since God has this undying, eternal, faithful, committed love for us, He would never have that opinion. Thank You Lord that Your opinion of us is the only one that truly matters.
