vanity
1 John 2:16 “For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.”
Hear this truth: you do not have to live at the mercy of the world’s expectations. You do not have to chase its approval. You do not have to bend under the weight of its demands. God is not calling you to be seen by the world — He is calling you to be known by Him.
The following interpretations of scripture can add to your shield against vanity. Jesus teaches us to store treasure in heaven, not in the temporary shine of this world.

God looks at the heart, not outward appearance. This verse cuts straight through the lie that worth comes from what people see.

🛡️ Galatians 1:10
A reminder that we live for God’s approval, not the applause of people.
💧 Proverbs 31:30
Charm and beauty fade; reverence for God is what lasts.
🌄 Psalm 119:37
A prayer asking God to turn our eyes away from worthless things and toward His ways.
🌱 Colossians 3:2
Set your mind on things above, not on earthly distractions.
⚔️ Philippians 2:3
Reject selfish ambition and empty pride; choose humility instead.

listen to me
Don't be concerned with how you look in the eyes of others, but only in the eyes of God.
