With a daughter and three sons....we had lots of comedy, drama and just plain old good fun in our home. Nathan is the youngest...so we still enjoy just having fun together.<br /><br />The more I looked at that picture the more I thought about the masks we sometimes wear in real life. My prayer each day is that God will show me when I am being real and when I am wearing a mask....I want Him to point it out and make it clear.<br /><br />Thank you again for your words of encouragement Christina!

But as you said so well...I praise God that He stripped off the masks and loves us by His grace. He is sooooo good to us!

I wore a mask before God - at one time I hated Psalm 139 because I wanted to hide the "real me" from God but that Psalm told me I couldn't. Thank God He has stripped the mask from me. And the best thing about it - knowing the "real me" He hasn't rejected me, because in Christ, His Beloved Son, I am reconciled to Him! Praise God! Thanks for this post, Barbara!

Isn't it good to know that we don't have to wear masks when we are in Jesus Christ! He has set us free!

Oh, but the mirror of God's Word, how it reflects the truth, how it points to Christs and shows us a real beauty found only in Him!
