Clowns...
I don't like clowns
they scare me
maybe it is because
I don't know what is really
behind
the
painted smile on their face~
the
Mask
they wear.
As
Masks
come in all shapes and sizes
to cover up
what we don't want others to see
to cover up
what we don't want to see
to cover up
what we don't want to feel.
So the
Mask
goes on
to hide behind
to cover up
the real you
the crying you
the sad you
the fearful you~
Afraid
to be~
Afraid
to say~
Afraid
to be me
Afraid
to be you.
Have you ever been there?
What Mask do you wear when you don't want others to see what you don't want to see?
Trying to be someone you are not
Fighting against who you were made to be
Trying to be who others want you to be
or
Who you think you should be.
“We learn at a young age to cover up our imperfections. The problem is, there’s not enough makeup in the world to make us whole. If we really want to know true beauty, if we really want to live full and free lives, we have to give God access to those places we work so hard to cover up.” (Susie Larson, Your Beautiful Purpose)
What is actually behind the
Mask ~
You~
who is always with you
You~
who you can never get away from
Precious
You~
the You God created
the You who you can
become
unMasked
to~
the
One
Who
knows your heart
everything about you
and
loves you anyway..
even when you
stumble
he will not fall, for the LORD upholds him with his hand. Psalm 37:24
even when you
fall short
he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. I John 1:9
even when you
are
rejected
For I am certain that nothing can separate us from His love. Romans 8:38
Even when you
are just being you
I have summoned you by name; you are Mine. Isaiah 43:1
So
Let's
Take Off
the
Masks
by
Becoming
unMasked
before the
One
Who
allows you to be the you
He created you to be
without
wearing a
Mask
because
He loves
the one
who
is
behind the
Mask.
Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. Hebrews 4:16
