So...You are not alone, sister, that's for sure. Someone notable (I forget who) once said that the search for significance was one of the most common human traits. Based on my own experience, there is more than a grain of truth in that. Maybe that's why godly character emphasizes humility so much. We truly are wonderfully made, but it pays to remember what we look like next to God's perfection...JoAnne Potterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12736685999963791015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2162883238388829088.post-12075442517719304872013-05-28T10:30:30.662-07:002013-05-28T10:30:30.662-07:00I can really relate to this feeling of wanting to ...I can really relate to this feeling of wanting to be noticed, to be special.

It makes us feel significant and makes our mundane lives seem more special. It takes a close walk with God to keep our egos at bay. Jesus made it a priority to stay close and connected to God. I think he spent a lot of time alone for just that purpose. You're right. We have to remember who we are and what matters, and be content to stay grounded in that truth.
