There is More on the Inside!

I keep warning people that what you see is NOT always what you get. I have known far too many narcissists who can be very charming while hoodwinking everyone in their path except the one who knows them, that no one else will believe.

Many people place others on a pedestal simply because of how they display themselves in public. Most people are not at all in public what they are in private.

I am speaking here of the candidates for the presidency, of course they will put on their best face to convince the people they are the "good guy."

Just because they dress up in fancy cloths and say all the things we like to hear, plastered in their plastic and deliberate smiles, does not mean they are going to do what is right when given a chance to control the country.

Hitler was very popular at first, he said all the things about bringing the nation of Germany back to prosperity, never did he display at first his diabolical plan to murder millions of people. He did not start out as a dictator, he was voted into power by the people.

There have been many successful people down through the ages that appeared to be wonderful, people that many people elevated to godlike status, only to find out their dirty little secrets later.

I cannot get on these "idolatrous" bandwagons. I know too much about how good someone can look while being evil and full of darkness on the inside.

Please don't come to me to defend a particular candidate unless you have lived with them in their house for the past 10 years, have walked with them through their business day, encountering every person who did business with them and even had many conversations with them yourself.

You see......most of us have not done this, in fact very few have done this. All we have to evaluate the candidates is what they say, how they dress and what pretty smiles they have. Sorry friends, it is just not enough for me.

Psalm 55:21 "His words are as smooth as butter, but in his heart is war. His words are as soothing as lotion, but underneath are daggers!"

Proverbs 26:23-25 "Smooth words may hide a wicked heart, just as a pretty glaze covers a clay pot. People may cover their hatred with pleasant words, but they’re deceiving you. They pretend to be kind, but don’t believe them. Their hearts are full of many evils."

Psalm 28:3 "Do not drag me away with the wicked–with those who do evil–those who speak friendly words to their neighbors while planning evil in their hearts."

I am equally weary of hearing believers praise rock stars, secular talk show hosts and others who have never indicated they had any righteousness at all.

Just because someone has a talent, does not make them special. It's one thing to listen to their music or movies yourself, it's quite another to promote them to other believers.

Proverbs 28:4-5 "4 Those who forsake the law praise the wicked, But those who keep the law strive with them. 5 Evil men do not understand justice, But those who seek the LORD understand all things.…"
