Elisabeth Elliot wrote, "The preoccupations of young women- their looks, their clothes, their social life- do not change very much from generation to generation. But in every generation, there seem to be a few who make other choices."
This quote has always struck me and put a desire in my heart to be one of the few. It is so easy to get caught up with the things of this world, but I want to be one of the few who lives a life completely devoted to Christ- a woman who is so caught up in the realities of her King that the things of this world seem trivial.
I want to be one of the few who pours herself out for others and loves selflessly. A woman who loves deeply without expecting anything in return.
I am praying that the Lord will shape me into this kind of woman. A woman who reflects His beauty.
"Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth." -1 John 3:18
