Jeremiah 3:10

"And yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah has not turned to Me with her whole heart, but in pretense," says the Lord.

Pretense... I wish I knew exactly what that word meant, but I'm on this dumb computer at school and it won't let me open up another tab to go to wikipedia. Here's my definition. Pretense - from the Latin root word pretend, meaning insincere, fake, mockingly. I don't want to be insincere with God. I see it all around and it makes me incredibly sad, not just for the person doing it, but for all of Christianity. Eventually, everyone sees through pretense. It's not something you can keep up for long. God sees through it from the start.

Lord, help me to seek you with my whole heart. Examine me and remove any pretense from my life.
