Me, before I gave my life to Christ, found this comfort and affirmation in being SEEN. I loved the attention I got from others, from the camera, from the pictures, from the “Scene”… Come-on! I don’t know one girl who doesn’t. And if you say you don’t take selfies because you think you look pretty, you lie! Anyway, it felt awesome to be asked if I was a model during a photo shoot, or walking around at a car show.
You should read "The Prophet" by Frank Peretti. What you are speaking about reminds me so much of what was felt in that book. "This Present Darkness" and Piercing the Darkness" are also must reads. I love when I'm able to pull the curtain back on the play of this life and truly view and pray for people's hearts instead of being upset at them for their actions. I too have been in dark places and I never want to forget the mud the Lord brought me out of. He has planted so many beautiful flowers in that mud in my garden of life. I will forever praise Him and look for others to help them tend their gardens.
Praise God for shining His light within your dark place!!
