"Image is overrated if it washes off in the rain.
You know you gotta go deeper to go against the grain."
Krystal Meyers' song Anticonformity
What do you think? I agree.
So many times we change ourselves to be what everyone wants, when all everyone wants is what everyone wants. So if we all did what we really wanted, wouldn't we all be happier?
Do we really know what we want? If no one put the pressure on you to do anything, what would you do? If trends were obsolete and peer pressure gone, would we still copy others and wonder what they say behind our backs?
Probably...
Twice-born men battling a once-born world. They won't understand. They can't understand. The rude awakening so many want, won't happen until Christ returns.
In heaven, we will all go against the grain. Meaning the grain will be changed. Or really, the grain is returned to its original perfection.
You may get some splinters, but with God on your side, they will all be in the right places.
Image...overrated. Bottom line. What people think of you and who you are are worlds apart and in the end...does it really matter? I know it stinks. I am a pastor's daughter. Figuratively speaking, I live in a glass house. A foggy glass house. People see what they want to see and say anything they want to.
“Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.”
Dr. Seuss
Interesting thoughts and they all came up randomly after I read the Krystal Meyers quote. Sometimes I suprise myself...or not....
Since that is what blogs are all about. And by "that" I mean, opinions. Without an opinion there is nothing. Believe me, I have plenty of opinions.
Under Grace,
