Fake

What you see is not always what you get! Looks can be deceiving.
Lovely beaches, but most people don’t realize that the process to create this particular tourist beach has destroyed the marine life that makes it appealing in the first place. Tons of white sand was purchased, transported by barges, landscaped, to make this a “tourist” attraction. In the process, many beautiful, tiny little uninhabited islands in neighbouring countries have disappeared forever.


In life, it’s hard to judge based on what you see. We’re really good at masquerading and putting on false fronts. We spend so much time and resources on fake stuff. Millions are spent every year on plastic surgery so we can be more beautiful, look younger and appear more presentable. We have fake watches, fake handbags, fake credit cards, and sadly enough, fake “people”.
We become “fake” when we neglect the one thing that makes us truly beautiful and lovable. The thing that sets us apart from all other living things, is the very thing we fail to invest in – our souls! What’s beneath the surface is what really counts!

“Don’t judge by his appearance or height…people judge by outward appearance, but the Lord looks at a person’s thoughts and intentions.” I Samuel 16:7
