Just like actors, we are not who we appear to be. Most of us try to create an acceptable illusion. We hide reality of our lives behind masks.
When the curtain drops on our day or when the “show” closes forever, we will find ourselves confronted with our own actions. What will we say when the Lord says, “Show me your deeds?”
Who among you is wise and understanding? Let him show by his good behavior his deeds in the gentleness of wisdom (James 3:13)Our world/life can become a theatrical performance. We can wear ourselves out trying to be who we think others want us to be. We live under pretense so that others won’t know our shame or our wretchedness.
……..The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart." (1 Samuel 16:7)Unmask before Him today. He already knows the heart. Play the role He gives. He is your audience of one. The only One who counts.
