During school days, when you asked you friends how had they prepared for the test, they would most probably said, 'Nah, I haven't read anything.'
And I know well that you and I despised these kinds of fakers because we always think relationship is ought to be honest and true after all.
This is something I heard from the movie 'To save a life' during CF just now, a youth pastor was telling the youth, 'Church is a place where you should be who you really are but not coming to pretend that you got all well.'
But most of us carried this feeling to church, to CF, to any meeting with brothers and sisters so that we looked fine to them and then we went back to another miserable week.
And I thank God that because of the LOVE He had showered upon me for the years I had been with Him, I realized that hating the fakers won't help them at all.
Frankly, before I met Christ, I would give you the same answer, 'Nah, I haven't read anything' if you would ask me.
Now, maybe you do not feel honesty from the person telling you this, but don't you ever want to have a guess that maybe this person talking to you right now is faking because he/she just doesn't have enough confidence to tell you the truth.
Fakers are but a group of people lacking of love and is earning love from people by hiding who they are because they too are ashamed of themselves.
And the part you see in me isn't the me being religious. No, Jesus is not a religion to me. He is a friend.
I got a friend who always telling me in a sarcastic manner that I am religious.
Now if I'm telling you that if I am still following the law and I would try to accomplish by obeying the law, then I'm dead!
Because it's IMPOSSIBLE!
It's impossible that you can follow the law to a standard where you can make right with God.
The part of my life you see in me, loving my God, putting my God first, avoiding things that would offend my God is actually given by Jesus Christ Himself.
I'm saved by Grace, not by law. Law is just telling me what mistakes I made.
Sometimes I would make mistake. But God is merciful. He allowed space for failure. But as fast as I can, I turn back to Him and He would hold my hand again like a Father, guiding me towards the right path.
So, if you see a faker today, you should feel how insecure is it inside of him/her, it is to a degree that he/she has to deny his/her own self worthiness.
God doesn't make us to feel unworthy.
We are fearfully and wonderfully made.
Only His LOVE can give us the true security, not the person we try to please, not the person we try to earn approval from, not the public we have to purposely behave towards, not the fame, the money, the status or a bunch of friends that would show up only if you can do them any good.
If you see people faking today, remember how Jesus had came to die for you and them.
From my experience, I guess the biggest hindrance for us to reach out is our inability to accept people weakness and to replace judgment with love.
The most striking question I got from the movie today, 'Who had you judged today?'.
Do we really have to squeeze in so much to the world culture that we start to develop our attitude, our speaking manner, our socializing skill based on what the magazine, TV, vampire diary and gossip girl told us?
Do we have to XOXO when gossip girl is doing XOXO?
Do we have to shout fighting fighting when korean pop stars are doing the same thing?
It's not like the whole world is faking but we are not.
But Jesus Christ can give you the freedom from all these things.
You just have to let the light meets the dark.
I guess this song will help you know more about it:)this is not the whole Christian thing after all, this is about finding who you really are, the one God created you to be.
