Makeover - is a term applied to changing one's appearance using various means; cosmetics, veneers, surgeries, etc.
Makeunder - is based on the opposite principle - removing artificial enhancements to a person's appearance to give a more "natural" look.
Spiritually we lose our inner soul beauty by religious cosmetics, etc. and often never show the world the real person.
A Christian is to be the revelation of God and His love to the world. As long as we wear our religious cosmetics and never show the world the "holy" we grieve the Father's heart.
I would pray for transparency in the church but before anyone can be truly transparent they must receive the revelation of Father God's love for them and truly and deeply fall in love with God. The first commandment to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength must become real in us Christians. Then and only then can we be the Bride, love sick lovers of Jesus.
My prayer today is we stop being ashamed of being called Christian and seek the true meaning of Christian. Father we are called to be Christ "ones" or Christ-women and Christ-men. In Song of Songs Jesus calls to us to place Him as a seal on our heart and a seal on our arm. This seal sets us apart and identifies us as daughters and sons of the Most High God. First Lord we need a supernatural revelation of this love that only comes from you, this love that is strong as death, a jealousy as cruel as the grave, a love whose flames are flames of fire. A love that many waters cannot quench, nor a flood can drown. A love a man could give all he had and it would be nothing compared to the value of this Heavenly pure holy love.
A people so loved will be lovers. As we walk out a life committed to the first commandment we will not think of wearing "religious cosmetics" we will be a "natural", "pure", "holy" people. The world will take notice!
Father you are a God of His word. Bless your chosen people with a Holy makeunder.
Amen
Scripture: Song of Songs 8:6&7
