A façade is an outward appearance that is maintained to conceal what you believe to be a less pleasant or creditable reality. Most adults project a false outward appearance in order that they appear to be someone who they think others will be attracted to in a greater manner. People spend significant amounts of money to project an image that really isn’t them but FATHER will not bless the “false” you, only the “real” you.
The fear of rejection is an extremely strong force which affects many if not all of us. We want to be accepted thus we work hard to put on an outward appearance we believe will be more acceptable to others but FATHER Loves and blesses the real you. HE knows the real you for HE created you to be the person you are thus pretending is truly pointless. Your ego is at the center of pulling the strings which causes you to create the illusion of being someone else.
FATHER’S blessing is found in honesty and transparency. In Mark chapter 12, Jesus focused on giving:
41 Now Jesus sat opposite the treasury and saw how the people put money into the treasury. And many who were rich put in much.
42 Then one poor widow came and threw in two mites, which make a quadrans.
43 So He called His disciples to Himself and said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you that this poor widow has put in more than all those who have given to the treasury;
44 for they all put in out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in all that she had, her whole livelihood.”
The widow gave in an honest and transparent manner and was not out to impress anyone. However she did impress the Son of THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY and He took note of her in the midst of those who were attempting to impress others with their giving. As we are moved to be open and honest in our lives you can be assured that FATHER is taking note as well. Is it wrong to look your best? No, of course not. It is simply wrong to project yourself to be someone you are not.
In Matthew chapter 6 Jesus spoke:
1 “Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in heaven.
2 Therefore, when you do a charitable deed, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory from men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward.
3 But when you do a charitable deed, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
4 that your charitable deed may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will Himself reward you openly.”
When you remove the façade your reward comes from FATHER, not men. As we seriously deal with those illusions we have created and “fed” we will free ourselves of much baggage we didn’t realize was there before. Unconditional Love does not require us to perform and achieve a certain level of acceptance before we can receive it from FATHER or those who have embraced its revelation. We must break down those barriers created by “self” so that we can allow the Spiritual flow of communication and blessing to operate fully and completely in our lives. I must let the “real” me be presented before men so that I can truly flow in FATHER’S Divine Intent of Love.
Most of us had demands by our parents and others placed on us that assured us of failure which in turn promoted the idea of rejection. These demands promoted a life based on conditions which required achievement in areas we were not gifted thus we were destined to failure. Unconditional Love does not place conditions but accepts us for who we are and what we are called to do. No façade is needed.
Our earthly parents could only raise us based on their level of revelation in the area of unconditional Love. We must be thankful that at least they were used to get us here by FATHER’S Divine Plan. Let us break any curses that have been placed on us by the words of previous generations by simply relying and trusting in Our Heavenly Father WHO fully accepts us for who HE created us to be. Let us put away those façades and embrace the reality of who we are in Christ. Let the old man pass away and be buried. Each of us simply needs to be the best at what HE created us to be and bring forth that blessing for the benefit of mankind.
