Many of us stop being ourselves to be “that avatar that everyone wants us to be.” Thus, we remain trapped in a character, in a more decorated and 'cleaned' false self, always concerned with pleasing others. This fondness for our avatar prevents us from having the intimate and authentic relationship that Jesus wants us to have with Him. God cannot anoint and bless what we pretend to be. When Jesus speaks of the clean, pure heart, He does not speak of the perfect heart, but of the one that is sincere, authentic. The Lord prefers genuine brokenness, rather than “feigned spirituality.” He will never bless an avatar. Let's just live being authentic, because the truth frees us and brings us closer to the Lord.
