LET'S STOP THE PRETENSE ABEG!!!!!!

Hello!!!!
It's been a minute, yeah? Been busy busy busy *sighs*
Missed posting on here too and while I am here though I would like to share some thing that has
been on my mind...and here it goes
been on my mind...and here it goes
I have often heard people say others only allow them see the
good and not the bad part of their lives, especially on social media. This maybe true but I can’t get how
people want others to add to the ugliness that is already in the world today. Besides, we all know life is....well....life *shrugs*
No one has it all rosy except by the grace of God which keeps helping one to surmount challenges as they show up. If we already know that, why then I wonder do we want to see an ugly picture or some deep secret to show that others are "real" enough.
I also sometimes wonder if people feel the same way
about me. Maybe I get more ‘yinmus’ than ‘thumbs up’ when I do a post or put up
picture simply because some people feel I am only putting my best qualities or
attributes forward.
The truth is…that is exactly what I am doing.
YES!!!!!!
Showing off all the goodness in my life while allowing God
take all the glory.
I don’t get what these other people think they know about
me?
How many ‘dark secrets’ about me have been uncovered by anyone?
Why should
I even affirm all that you have coloured with your judgmental eyes?
A lot of
whys that I really do not want answers for…simply because I have learnt to
magnify my strengths in the face of my weaknesses. I have learned to praise my
Savior and seen that the more I lift Him above my struggles, temperamental
weaknesses, my failings and disappointments, the more ‘goodness’ I see and am
able to show forth.
Although it took me a long time to realize this, now that I
have though, I am going forward and never looking back. I refuse to be bothered
by other people’s myopic opinions of my truth rather I will spend my life
giving glory to the One who see things that have been buried, yet loves me like
I am unsoiled.
So please, get used to seeing only the best pictures, photos
of celebrations, hang – outs, triumphs and accomplishments; sit back and read
my posts of gratitude about love and friendship and laughter…. because for
every shakara by the devil, God just keeps loading me with victories before I
ask even.
So I’ll give glory to Him always through my life’s memoirs so that
others may come to know and magnify Jesus Christ above all else in their lives....and I think it's perfectly OKAY if you do the same too...
*peace*

Truth you say my dear...of course I want to put my best foot forward. The same people that judge me when i upload a beautiful picture of myself are those same people that will accuse me of washing my dirty linens outside if i continuously put my sad faces out. So no "sorry" I will continue to look my best and let God take all the glory. Wise words my sister, wise words
