So I was uplate watching the Pro-active infomercial on tv (as you do) and normally I am pretty entertained by the photoshopped pictures, the obviously plastic-faced creator of the product and thoroughly annoyed by Delta Goodrem’s voice (i really hate it for some reason)
But the other night as I lay awake in my procrastination I felt the HS spirit open my eyes to the dark side of a product which promises confidence and beauty… permanent shallowness
Don’t get me wrong, seeing all those testimonials about how their pimples have cleared up is great! but seeing all those testimonials about how “it changed their life” and “gave me the confidence to make friends” struck a deep chord in my heart… and not the good kinda chord.
Then to have Delta Goodrem saying… Do you want this confidence? Do you want to live knowing that people are looking at how great your skin looks? Do you want to feel great in the skin your in… then you have to get Pro-active its the answer to your problems… made me sick!
WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS GENERATION!
CONFIDENCE ISNT FOUND IN A SHEER COVER MAKEUP AD OR A AB-CIRCLE PRO INFOMERICAL OR A PRO-ACTIVE BEAUTY PRODUCT!
Why are we teaching this already self-obsessed, low self-esteemed generation that the only path to confidence is through fixing ourself outwardly!? It’s a biblical truth that its about being transformed from the inside out
Romans 12:2
Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
