The girl in the front row

There is a girl (I say girl, but she is probably 16 years old) who sits in the front row of church. I see her there almost every week. She is usually there with her brother and parents. I love to watch her sing. She usually closes her eyes, and this expression of pure joy comes over her face. I don't know how her voice sounds to those around her, but I bet God really loves it. She is so uninhibited. Her expression and body language make very clear her love for Christ. It always makes me smile. Sometimes I envy her. I wish I could be so uninhibited. At least in front of others. In my car, I pretend I am rockin' it like any of the amazingly talented singers we have at church. But at church...not so much like the girl in the front row.

Just be you. That's who God wants. Whether you're uninhibited or not. You sound beautiful to Him too!
