God wants to see His face in us, not one of our own making. I saw some women on my recent trip that made me wonder. That old school saying of a woman having to go put her face on took on new meaning for me. Some women spend hours in front of the mirror building up a facial facade that rivals the work at Mount Rushmore. One woman I noticed actually had almost a plastic like sheen to her face, it was amazing. We all know that they all must feel it makes them look better, but the false lie of what is pretty we have propagated to an epic proportion that no one can live up to.
We must become less so that He can be made more was echoed by John the bapist as his disciples were commenting on how popular Jesus was becoming and how it might effect what John himself was doing, and his response to his disciples questions; one of becoming less.
Is why we build ourselves up, to become more? Let us lay down our pretenses and instead lift up Christ, we're not fooling anyone anyway, they can see right through it, and those who can't are blind anyway.
God bless you, go in peace.
