Presentation

How do you present yourself to others?Do you put your best foot forward or do you pretend to be something your not? Authenticity these days is so very rare. People often will put forth the image and perception that they believe is what others are looking for. After all they say a picture is worth a thousand words. What does your face and expression tell the world?  The most High has created each one of us to be an individual. The world says that if you are not dressed a certain way or carrying yourself as They (whoever that is) say then you are weird or wrong somehow.  I believe there is a proper time and place for everything. You will find the same idea in Ecclesiastes 3
. But when we judge ourselves ugly, to fat, not smart enough or good enough we are selling ourselves short. In the most high all things are possible but only through authenticity.

Psalms 147:3“He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.”

If it is authentically broken seek Him he is the repairer of the broken. If it is sick Seek him He is the healer.   When we learn that just because we have been taught a  certain manner or way that anothers choice to express themselves differently is not a slight to us, but an acknowledgement of The most highs capability to create each person with their own unique personalities. Then we will begin to learn about love

1 Corinthians Chapter 13:4Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

 Hebrews 13:1 - Let brotherly love continue.

1 John 4:7 - Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.

1 John 3:18 - My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.

John 15:13 - Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

1 Peter 3:8 - Finally, [be ye] all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, [be] pitiful, [be] courteous:

After all, according to the scholars of the time; Christ was the son of Joseph and Mary (John 6:42) hanging out with some unlearned fishermen (Acts 4:13). By staying authentic they are recognized as Messiah and the Sons of Thunder(Mk3:17), forever changing the course of this world and offering us a chance at redemption. Remember The most High does not see as man sees but He see the heart.

(1 Samuel 16:7)Are you for Him or against Him? Your actions everyday tell on you. Stop focusing on your worldly presentation and focus on who you are presenting to The Father.

Deuteronomy 10:16“Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked.”

James 4:8Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
