Sometimes we are afraid of being judged by other people. First of all, it only matters what God sees in you because He is your master. Besides you can't really even tell what people are thinking so it shouldn't matter anyways. Worrying about what they think instead of if you are are pleasing God is a waste of your energy. Really those people probably aren't evening paying attention to you. It is a form of idolatry, placing their opinions above God's. And even thinking that you are important enough for them to even being thinking about or judging you. Worrying about that takes your focus off of God and what He is guiding you to do. He is always looking upon you and His views are perfect, above those of sin. You know that by looking through His eyes you will see the love He surrounds you with. You are to gain rest and Peace through knowing that is how He looks at you and that is all that matters. Worship Him with your true self.
John 4:23-24 (MSG)
“It’s who you are and the way you live that count before God. Your worship must engage your spirit in the pursuit of truth. That’s the kind of people the Father is out looking for: those who are simply and honestly themselvesbefore him in their worship. God is sheer being itself—Spirit. Those who worship him must do it out of their very being, their spirits, their true selves, in adoration.”
