My daughter and I were recently conversating about life situations, depression, etc. and she spoke about being transparent. Then I saw a post about being transparent, and how your transparency could help someone else going through something. Transparency is not something many people take lightly but being transparent can be much easier that trying to conceal the truth.
I was watching a movie and the ending scene reminded me of how sometimes someone can see right through you. However when we aren’t being transparent with them but they can see right through you, it can cause a conflict. They can see through your forced smiles and conversations and they know you are not being genuine.
God can see right through you as well, after all he is omniscient. He can see right through you when you have thoughts of not being enough, of wanting to give up or feeling like you’re not loved or any thoughts of negativity. He can see right through you!
I had to realize that I had to be transparent with myself. I had to stop and see “right through me”. I have been carrying so much for so long that I have been just covering it up and adding to it. I was smiling through the pain, faking the happiness, masking the wounds and shielding the damage. I didn’t want anyone to see “right through me”. I didn’t want to see right through myself.
Well, in being transparent, I have pain from my past that I have not dealt with, sometimes I battle with depression, I have issues with my weight and I have always been self conscience. It’s ok to be transparent, it lets you know you are ok with taking a step forward and let’s others whom may not be as comfortable know it’s ok to be transparent. So now, you can see “right through me”, flaws and all.
