King James Version
37 Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity;
and quicken thou me in thy way.
Enough with self.
Who one is.
How one looks.
How rich you are.
How loved you are
How many people like you.
How accomplished you are.
All is vanity.
King Solomon knew it.
Ecclesiastes 1:1-2
King James Version
1 The words of the Preacher,
the son of David,
king in Jerusalem.
2 Vanity of vanities,
saith the Preacher,
vanity of vanities;
all is vanity.
All that matters is GOD now.
John the Baptist knew it.
John 3:30
King James Version
30 He must increase,
but I must decrease.
The LORD JESUS knew it.
John 12:49-50
King James Version
49 For I have not spoken of myself;
but the Father which sent me,
he gave me a commandment,
what I should say,
and what I should speak.
50 And I know that his commandment
is life everlasting:
whatsoever I speak therefore,
even as the Father said unto me,
so I speak.
GOD is ALL that MATTERS.
Self, is as nothing.
Our life is but a vapor.
Self is flesh.
The body will decay.
We will all grow old.
We will all die.
At a time, appointed by GOD.
James 4:14
King James Version
14 Whereas ye know not
what shall be on the morrow.
For what is your life?
It is even a vapour,
that appeareth for a little time,
and then vanisheth away.
Only JESUS could give you the peace, and happiness, you seek.
His WORD is the ONLY TRUE SUBSTANCE.
Without which, we're all abominations.
Engrossed with self.
With fame, fortune, face.
Creating envy, pride, greed, malice, competition among people.
Even murderous rage, in others.
What a fruitless exercise.
So very unworthy of GOD, the FATHER.
Sez who that God cares how you look?
Or how much you have?
Or how accomplished you are?
Or how important you are in the world?
That doesn't matter to God.
He only cares you SEEK Him.
Psalm 14:2
King James Version
2 The Lord looked down from heaven
upon the children of men,
to see if there were any
that did understand,
and seek God.
That you BELIEVE in His Son.
Matthew 17:5
King James Version
5 While he yet spake,
behold,
a bright cloud overshadowed them:
and behold a voice out of the cloud,
which said,
This is my beloved Son,
in whom I am well pleased;
hear ye him.
That you LOVE each other.
John 13:34
King James Version
34 A new commandment I give unto you,
That ye love one another;
as I have loved you,
that ye also love one another.
GOD created us in THEIR own image.
Genesis 1:26
King James Version
26 And God said,
Let us make man in our image,
after our likeness:
and let them have dominion
over the fish of the sea,
and over the fowl of the air,
and over the cattle,
and over all the earth,
and over every creeping thing
that creepeth upon the earth.
Genesis 1:27
King James Version
27 So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God created he him;
male and female created he them.
So, why are you trying to fix your face?
Why are you trying to fix your gender?
Why do you try to outdo each other?
Why are you not content with self?
Why do you modify what God gave you?
Can GOD make mistakes?
Stop feeding the ego.
It will never be fed enough.
Egos belong to the enemy of CHRIST.
That's why he fell.
You belong to GOD, don't you?
It's time to make a stand.
Enough obsessing with self.
STOP all that foolishness.
