transparency is vital.

as i was listening to the radio today, i heard this song.

perfect people by natalie grant

Never let 'em see you when you're breaking

Never let 'em see you when you fall

That's how we live and that's how we try

Tell the world you've got it all together

Never let them see what's underneath

Cover it up with a crooked smile

But it only lasts for a little while

There's no such thing as perfect people

There's no such thing as a perfect life

So come as you are, broken and scared

Lift up your heart and be amazed

And be changed by a perfect God

Suddenly it's like a weight is lifted

When you hear the words that you are loved

He knows where you are and where you've been

And you never have to go there again

Who lived and died to give new life

To heal our imperfections

So look up and see out let grace be enough

By a perfect God [5x]

Be changed by a perfect God

Be changed

as these lyrics rolled around my head, God spoke so clearly to me. as i'm trying to portray that i'm perfect, people who may desire a relationship with God can get discouraged. they feel disqualified because they know they will mess up. if i choose instead to be transparent, they will see that there is only one difference between us...God's grace.
