Stand Out

Stand Out

Stand Out 1We have all seen them: those people who stand out. Something special about them demands our attention. They are like black-eyed Susan flowers surrounded by weeds and trees. We notice them first.

They may be in the middle of a crowded room. Yet, our eyes follow them. They stand out from everyone for many reasons:

  • Physical beauty
  • Laughter
  • Personality
  • Voice
  • Clothes
  • Behavior

However, if people seek attention, we soon tire of them. We don’t enjoy a constant attitude of look at me.  If they focus their attention on others, we like to be around them.

The best way to stand out in a crowd is to point people to something greater than self. Standing tall and standing firm are far more important than standing out.

“Keep your eyes on Jesus, our leader and instructor” (Hebrews 12:2 TLB).
