Do you want God's blessing or to have everyone elses approval?

Almost everyone has that mask... that costume they throw on when others come around. Trying to make them selves more desirable. yeah, you know what im talking about! everyone I've met so far has one, and im guilty of it s well. Why? Why do we do this? .... to be accepted, to be more liked, to make our selves feel better, to impress people, the list goes on and on. the need of approval kills freedom! But my question is why should you care? the only person you should be trying to impress is the Lord, and he already knows your every flaw, curve, inch of you heart, mind, body, and soul.

We are who we are for a purpose. why be embarrassed of who you are? no one on this earth is any better than you are. we are created equal!

"Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect" romans 12:2

"Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear— but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious" 1 Peter 3:3-4

We shouldn't be flaunting all our good doings, "beauty", and good fortunes. all this bragging, selfies on social sites, and doing right because your around others. it doesn't matter when you do good  in front of others but its what you do when your alone that counts the most. its a family praying together over dinner with no company over, a person down on their knees behind closed doors, someone doing something good for someone less fortunate but not speaking a word of it to anyone. Doing something only because its the right thing to do. And not just making a "good" choice but a "God" choice.

We are not here for ourselves or to look good to others. We are here to serve!
So I ask again... why put on a act, cover your face..for society?
why do you judge others on what you think you know or see?
why gossip?
Doing these things make you the opposite of looking good or pretty.
You wanna be beautiful? ....be your self! be who you really are, who God made you to be! that is true beauty and happiness that will last forever.
