Do all lives matter to you? Or do you just say things on social media to be a part of social media? Do you know the right things to say to make yourself look good, or do you really look that good?
Jesus said this —love your neighbor as yourself, but is that really your motto? Do you really love others and have compassion for everyone, or do you just try and look good to your community of friends on social media?
It is easy to hide behind your computer and display who you want others to think you are, but who are you really?
Many put on such a facade that they hardly look the same when you see them in person. Kind of like their pictures. Their pictures are edited to try and make themselves defined as how they want to look, covering up who they really are.
Speaking of looking good, if you have ever had a makeover, how long have you been able to keep up the maintenance of that makeover? Eventually, you will go back to that person you really are. As well, even though it looks as though you are all fixed up on the outside, if you didn’t get the inside fixed, nothing really changed, it only looks as though it did.
Image starts on the inside, that is who you really are.
If you don’t like who you are, don’t fake it but go to Jesus and let Him show you who you are —in Him. Become like Him and then that change you want will begin on the inside and then, show up on the outside. You will glow with Jesus because He will live in you and you will be who you are in Him. Faking it will no longer be needed!
Often, many as well fake being a Christian. They say they are, but they don’t imitate Jesus, they don't grow up to be like Him. Therefore, really they are just faking it and because they are —Jesus on that day will call them out!
—Matthew 7:21 Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father Who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me on that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name and driven out demons in Your name and done many mighty works in Your name? 23 And then I will say to them openly (publicly), I never knew you; depart from Me, you who act wickedly [disregarding My commands].

Don’t be one of them, be real. Be like Jesus by following Him. Make sure all lives matter to you because they do to Him.
—Matthew 22:36 Teacher, which kind of commandment is great and important (the principal kind) in the Law? [Some commandments are light—which are heavy?] 37 And He replied to him, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind (intellect). 38 This is the great (most important, principal) and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as [you do] yourself.
