Taking off the mask!
Hey all!!
Taking off the mask!!
I recently watched a film, “Super Christian” which is actually really funny, although it is a little out of date. (was made before I was born) but the principle still applies. Some people can put on a mask, adopt this persona of pretending to be someone they’re not. This film showed the example of a Sunday morning only Christian. Someone who, on Sundays over compensates for the week they have just had, by trying to be the best they can be. Do everything you’re supposed to do while people are watching you. But you make sure people see what you are doing too, so that they see this imagine that you pretend to be. You do all this on a Sunday, and give God the week off.
Newsflash people…there will always be one person who can see through that image. God will…and He will send someone else who can see right through you too. Someone who perhaps has been there and done that and can recognise the signs. Listen to them, they have been there and done that and will therefore know how to overcome it. You can learn from them what to do to really take off your mask and start being yourself. Someone who doesn’t have to pretend to be someone they’re not, but can be exactly who they truly want to be. Be yourself people. If you are struggling to live a life for God, then seek help in someone who completely trust. It will help you.
Be yourself people, and don’t be afraid to show who you really are. If people are really your friends, they will accept you as you….and no one else.
peace

"Taking off the mask" - is often what I have thought of those alleged to be christians.
One often sees their Sunday attendance - bowed in prayer - dressed out in their outfit clean and fresh.
And yet when I have kneeled in prayer - how I have often heard some of those alleged christian gossip of others, talk of their social events and holidays etc etc.
This in God's house - and then they often have an air of superiority to all - within the church.
How sad this appears to me and perhaps to many others - for this is God's house and they have shown both disrespect to God and to all his flock. They have failed to accept that they are equal to all within the church - rich or poor, fashion or rags in clothing - we are all God's children.
"Your newsflash - there will always be one person who can see through that image". How right you are!!!
Those people who abuse the church and its being - show their blinkered ideology of themselves and status.
I, myself am not someone anyone would know - just an individual who may quietly come to sit in prayer and reflect upon the teachings and listen to the singing of hymms - but I am still a person - with a beating heart - that God has created and a heart that may sometimes feel saddened!!!
Alone in thoughts and prayers I am still one of God's children.
