We show others what we want them to see,
Fearful of our true selves, of our greatness!
When our greatness looks crazy; different from others,
It causes us to stand out in a crowd.
We are taught from an early age to assimilate ourselves into our surroundings.
We are taught to compete with others.
We taught to brag and boast about our accomplishments.
As we age and mature, we expect others to know our heart, our motives, our interest, and to accurately discern our character by what we have done in the past and what we are allowing them to see us do right now.
We frequently seek praise and admiration.
We are always seeking to be understood, accepted, and appreciated....and expect recognition for our efforts.
We find creative ways to flaunt how religious we are and put on veils of righteousness over our grief, troubles, and sin...forgetting that God sees our heart!
We need to return to prayer, in the secret place...the prayer closet, to counteract the vanity...to restore our humility...to repent and to be reminded that we are made for His purpose and not our own!
Once we emerge from the prayer closet we will be equipped to tell the world about the God we serve!
