Passage : 2 Timoty 3"Mark this: People will have a form of godliness but denying its power." 2 Timothy 3:5
There are those who look good on the outside, but they lack power. These are people with impressive exteriors, but there is emptiness inside. They have religion, but Christ has not taken hold of them. Solomon spoke about this very thing in Ecclesiastes 1:14 when he said that life was "meaningless, a chasing after the wind. " Behind all his exterior wealth, he was spiritually bankrupt! There are many people out there that know this feeling. They wear their masks to church and appear as if all is well with them, when inside they are dead and they know it! I have been there myself and had no idea what to do about it. Then, one day, I cried out to God in despair and asked for him to deliver me from a life of hypocrisy and to give me meaning. He gave me Christ. That hole in my heart that I couldn't seem to fill was suddenly no longer there, for it was filled with Jesus Christ. Along with Jesus comes true godliness and the power that godliness brings. If you are tired of improving your exterior, why not open the door of your heart and let Jesus fill that emptiness inside? His beauty will shine through and suddenly you will not need to put on a show, it will be the real thing: true godliness. Or, maybe you know what I am speaking about; you have been there. Look around you and you are sure to find someone who is "chasing after the wind." Reach out to them with Christ and help them to fill that hole in their hearts. We are afraid to let ourselves become vulnerable, but it is only when we do, that Christ can come into our hearts. May true godliness take hold of our lives because of Christ and may His power work through us.
