“Nothing in all creation is hidden from God. Everything is naked and exposed before his eyes, and he is the one to whom we are accountable.” -HEBREWS 4:13
The word hit me. With a shiner on my ego, I ran to the secret place. With eyes fixed on Him, I began to weep. I began weeping over my ignorance.
Thanksgiving suddenly spewed from my lips & all I could utter was thanks. My heart was flooded with such light. I could see & thankful was I that He showed me. He loves us enough to show us.
I had been bothered & occupied with how others saw me & thought of me. It’s disgusting but no one can say they’ve never been there for a moment. I was questioning my appearance from the amount of make up on my face, to the clothes I wore, where I spent my free time, even my personal hobbies.
Do people think i’m a strange lone wolf? Whats wrong with book stores instead of clubs? Is this outfit too modest to be considered trendy? Do I really need a full face of make up to look pretty?
Living life for the eyes of others is no life at all. Living life before the eyes of one, the only one that matters, now thats a life worth living. When I die & come to the judgement seat before my maker, His eyes are the only ones i’ll be standing before. It will be me & him, not me & them, there will be no audience.
Nothing is hidden from those eyes, He made that clear. He sees what takes place in the secret & in the open, & in both i choose to live sincerely before Him. Loving Him means obeying Him & What matters is what modesty means to him, not them & the Gods of fashion.
Who cares what they think, I care about what my God Thinks! The Lord knows i’m weird & he’s fine with it. He thinks my butterfly barn is cool. He loves that I spend hours at prayer house & he understands that i’m a book store kind of gal.
I may not be the cutting edge cookie cutter broad of our generation’s culture but I’m God’s Gal & His opinion far out weighs the world’s.
