“All that glitters is not gold.” (As nice as that would be…)
Are you familiar with that phrase?
It is actually derived from a 16th-century line by William Shakespeare, meaning that not everything that looks precious or true turns out to be so.
Isn’t it interesting that all these years later, this general principle still holds true?
Arguably even more so today. If we are not careful, we can be blinded by the shiny, glittery new thing…new trend… new rage. Everywhere we look, every online scroll, every day.
So, let me ask you – are you carrying around any ‘glitter’ yourself today?
(Don’t worry. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… this a no judgment zone. I am right there with you.)
Maybe your ‘glitter’ is wanting to feel worthy and loved, yet you find yourself seeking these affirmations in all the wrong places.
Perhaps, your ‘glitter’ is wanting to create the seemingly perfect life on the outside, yet your striving and highlight reels are actually hiding the true you.
Or, could it be that you long for the ‘glitter’ you see in everyone else’s life (fame, fortune, success) that you can’t see the true gold that you currently possess in your own life?
No matter what the case may be, today’s guest – Francine Rivers – is here to remind us that even though our circumstances may change and glittery things are fleeting, there is one truth that we can always rely on. That we can always depend on. One truth that is the true gold standard.
