Drop The Mask


How many times do we try and play hide and seek with God? It’s like, we ware a mask, so people want see us, for who we really are. Unlike Halloween, where kids wear their mask for a few hours, we adults have been trained, conditioned, or tricked into wearing masks almost every day of our lives. We think, if I’m real people want like me, so we play the game. It’s time to stop playing the game. Drop the mask and be real.

A lot of times we wear mask trying to fill an inward emptiness. That emptiness can only be filled Christ alone.

God wants us to have the courage to be authentic. He already know where we are, He wants us to admit to ourselves where we are.

But no matter where we are, God love us, God forgive us, but we can’t go through life faking it! God wants us to drop the mask. None of us can do all that God wants us to do wearing a mask!

Just be real.

God Is With Me

How many times do you need to hear something before you get it? Last week over and over the 23 Psalm kept coming to me for different directions. How many times do I need to hear the same message before I get it?  Well for me it was the same message four times. I finally got it. Alan, the Lord is your Shepherd. He has your back. He will provide for you. It doesn’t matter what I’m walking through God is with me. It doesn’t how bad things look God is with me. When I’m in the valley He is with me. When I’m on top of the world He is with me. When things happen in our lives it doesn’t change who we are in Christ. He loves us and is with us. Remember, God is.
