YOLO, right?!

Topic: Live Your Best Life - The God Girl Edition

Living your best life - it’s common phrase these days. There’s FOMO - Fear of Missing Out! YOLO - you only live once, right?!

We say these things, but we don’t really follow them, do we? How fun is it to take a selfie, add a filter, and post it on social media for all of our friends, our people to see us living our best lives. We’ve all done it once or twice, or like a million times, right? It’s tempting for us to paint a picture of a life filled with of love, peace, joy, growth, fulfillment, contentment, and confidence for the digital friends.

Everybody is out here living, what looks like, their best life! And because what we see is often times perceived as reality, we are now put in the position to try to keep up! Now our lives have to be perfect, too! We have a false perception of what a happy, full life looks like. BUT, If their lives are SO great, we ought to at least present like ours is, too, right?

Because the life we have available to us from the Lord, when lived out purposefully and intentionally, is totally one you’ll have FOMO of if you choose not to take advantage of it! YOLO, right?! So we may as well live the abundant life God promised us in His word while we can! God wants us to live our BEST life…but it looks so much differently than the superficial one the enemy magnifies to us everyday through society and social media. Instead of painting a picture, or creating a facade that mimics love, peace, joy, growth, fulfillment, contentment, and purpose, we get to actually live it! We GET to walk in the truth of a life that IS love, peace, joy, growth, fulfillment, contentment, and purpose! Here is what it looks like:
