It may come as no surprise to you that you know yourself better than anyone, right? But like an onion has layers of skin, how deeply do you really know yourself?
Some of us are fixated on the physical representation so that others will accept us based on how we look. Billions are spent on plastic surgery yearly because they put on permanent masks to maybe hide the person underneath. Looking like someone who had plastic surgery does hide the years that they have lived but masking it to try to look youthful yet it fools no one and the attraction is not because they're actually beautiful but because they look pretty much synthetic.
To be able to dig deeper, why do people go through this type of masks? What is it they're trying to hide? Moreover, society starts to see this as normal and now everyone thinks that they have to go under the knife as well so they could be accepted to the group.
But what's wrong with aging gracefully? There is a reason why our looks don't stay intact while the years pass. It is so we can experience the height of life as a young person with looks that can attract others, body strength to be able to do for ourselves but all to prepare for the weakness and physical aging. It teaches us that there is more to this world than ourselves and it prepares us for the eternal life that God has prepared for us which has nothing to do with the outward influence of this world. This is a promise from God. The promise that in eternity we will regain the youth we had and never change because our souls will live in perfection forever.
You see, no matter how much we tweak our physical looks in this life from whatever we are hiding behind, there is but one person who knows us inside and out, and yes you know it, God! There is one person we can never hide from.
Until my next rant... LOVE one another!
