Transparency. Webster's classifies this as one being without pretense or deceit. I want to be transparent.
Today's culture makes it so easy to have a secret life, to live as a double-minded man. What have we lost in our pursuit for a specific and admired identity? Our desire for self image has strong-armed our authenticity until we are no longer sure who or what exactly we have become. All we know for sure is that it is ugly. Ugly on the inside.
It breaks my heart. We were born to be so much more than that. Instead of living for eternal things we are absorbed by petty concerns that matter so little in the scheme of things. We have undone and deceived ourselves.
God is not far from those who call upon His name. There is yet hope for living transparent. It's only through Him.
