Are we most ourselves when we put our best foot forward?

Are we most ourselves when we put our best foot forward?

When we want to impress another, we are said to be “putting our best foot forward”. In doing so, we become our own canvases – curating highlights of our lives and projecting what we want others to see about us.

But is this when we are most ourselves? Is it when we receive adulation and recognition, or is it when encounter hump days and barely make it through that day?

What we do for the least and what we do when we are the least tells a lot about who we are.

Matthew 25:31-46. Whatever you did for the least, you did for me.
