Doesn’t walking around naked sound like a great idea? What if we all walked around fully exposed for the world to see? Nothing hidden – no clothing to cover up what we don’t want each other to see. There wouldn’t be any control top anything or undergarments that make us look like there’s less of us. Things that pulled this up that down or over to the right. People would see us for who we really are.
At this point you might be laughing or thinking that I’ve decided to go pro-nudist. But, just think about it for a minute, what if we all really did walk around naked? People might be more apt to take care of themselves or at least they would be less likely to point out others flaws when theirs are so readily exposed. I know the last thing you want is for everyone to be able to see your flaws. Of course, I’m not really talking about physical nudity. I’m talking about exposing our hearts and minds that we so often hide from the world. We hide our imperfections, our scars, our struggles, and our battle wounds in order to make others think we are perfect or at least to make them think we have it all together. But, when we hide our imperfections the light of God can’t shine through us. God wants us to expose our imperfection to each other and share our struggles and the not so good things we have done. It is HIS grace and mercy that has saved us, not our attempts at trying to look perfect for others. By exposing our imperfections He is glorified and others see He Is Good because they can see the work that He is doing in us.

We’ve all heard that phrase, “Perception is Reality.” It has been used since the beginning of time to explain the things people can’t explain. Greek mythology is all based on what people perceived to be true. We use to believe the earth was flat, until one brave man decide to explore it. Throughout our history people have made up things to explain stuff they can’t explain. The sad thing is we do this exact same thing with people.
It’s one thing to say the earth is flat and I could even see someone being scared to go find out. A person might not come back if they find out that it is. When we do the whole “Perception Is Reality” thing with people, we are to scared or to lazy to just ask the person for the truth or even worse, we just don’t want to believe someone. Simply saying “Well you know, perception is reality…” Is this even true?
Lets look at one man, actually “The Man” Jesus. If perception is reality, He is not the Son of God, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. See the Pharisees had perceived Jesus to be one way and that’s what the stuck with. Although Jesus came to give life, they perceived He came to threaten their way of life. People to this day still don’t believe the truth of who Jesus is or why He came to this earth. These same people don’t seek the truth, they settle for assuming.
The thing about the perceiving things that aren’t true is eventually we see the earth is not flat, we understand that its actually round. If we take the time to go and explore the truth of who a person is and not what we perceive as truth, we will discover new things about them as well.
Seek to the truth! Stop assuming that all lawyers are bad, all doctor just do it for the money, every pro athlete is a conceited womanizer… Perception is not Reality, it’s just what you perceive, until the truth comes out.
What do you think? Is Perception Reality?
