God: No Mask Needed

There are a lot of things I could say about my life that wouldn't interest a person in the world. That's why I think that God is so amazing. He cares about me - every single part of me and my life. Isn't that an awesome thought? Humans on earth can disappoint you so easily, and yet, God never disappoints. He's everything we need and everything we could possibly want.

That's what I've been thinking about lately. So many people I know have these masks up, hiding themselves from the world because they're afraid of rejection. But God is the one "person" who knows the deepest parts of everyone. Even though that may be a creepy though for many people, I think it's refreshing. It's nice to know that I don't have to put on a mask for God, because He knows who I am and He knows my every thought.

Here's a snippet from a book I've been reading called Set Apart Femininity:

It's a lot easier to build our lives around the pursuit of worldly applause and selfish pleasure and just fit Christ in somewhere on the side than to radically pour out our lives in sacrificial devotion to Him.
But the reason that we as modern young Christian women are so insecure, lonely, and unfulfilled is because we are pursuing shallow beauty, hollow approval of the world, and selfish pleasures, all the while proclaiming to be representatives of Christ.

This is so true! I believe that our lives should reflect the stunning beauty of Jesus Christ instead of the shallow pursuit of "fitting in" in a pop-culture infested world. It's nice to have God around to talk to when you're putting on a mask for the world. But what is the point of being real with God when you won't be real with the world? I believe that God wants us to not only run to Him, but He also wants us to show the world how amazing and awesome He is. That's the soul purpose of being His daughter - to radiate His stunning beauty in order to show the world what an awesome God He really is.
