Pretense

"... Pretense... the common human desire to put the best foot forward and hide from the world our real inward poverty... There is hardly a man or woman who dares to be just what he or she is without doctoring up the impression. The fear of being found out gnaws like rodents within their hearts. The man of culture is haunted by the fear that he will someday come upon a man more cultured than himself. The learned man fears to meet a man more learned than he. The rich man sweats under the fear that his clothes or his car or his house will sometime be made to look cheap by comparison with those of another rich man." - A.W. Tozer, The Pursuit of God

When I read this recently, I was reminded once again of the importance of the heart. It is a good practice to ask of yourself and those you love, "How is your heart?" Where have you allowed pretense to gnaw away at your source of life--your heart?

"Above all else," the Proverb says, "guard your heart, for from it flow the issues of life." (Proverbs 4:23)
