You are not your face and you are not your resume. In this life, we constantly bombarded with messages that say that we are what we look on the outside or we are what we have accomplished. We must be constantly and prayerfully on guard not to fall for this deception that would have us view our identity and the identity of others from a surface level. Our face and our bodies are just shells and our accomplishments don’t mean a thing in the context of eternity if they were done for self glory. Who we are is the inner person that only God can see.
1 Samuel 16:6-7 6 So it was, when they came, that he looked at Eliab and said, “Surely the LORD’s anointed is before Him!” 7 But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the LORD does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”
Romans 12:2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
Grace & Peace,
Paul Rudatsikira
