Reality will come! Whether we choose to walk in it or not is a conscious decision each person must make for themselves. Nothing we hide will remain hidden, nothing we shove on the back burner will be left there, nothing covered up by fake smiles and masks will go unrevealed. God wants us heart and soul, body and mind, and he will do all it takes to strip away the masks, putting a stop to the parade of illusions we tend to paint for ourselves. He wants rip off the band-aids of our wounds, and bring complete healing inside and out. Though the pain of life comes, and often hits pretty hard, it lasts but only a moment, to be replaced by the glorious love, peace and comfort of the One True God!! I am not exempt of putting on a mask to make it through the day, but when the sun sets and my head rests upon the pillow, God speaks his love and truth to my heart, reminding me to stop putting on my best show and to be a living witness to the pain and sorrow that exists in my life and my heart, so that when he brings healing and joy, others will see his marvelous works.
Father God, if it glorifies you, I pray you give me strength to stand in the here and now, to be real with my emotions, bringing you glory through the healing!! I pray that no matter what I or others face, you remind us that you are near, you are here, you are working all things for our good, Father.
May God bless and keep you grounded in reality, showing you peace and joy through your darkest of times. All my love ❤
For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed,
and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open.
~ Luke 8:17 ~
Painted faces masquerade
Breezes blowing here and there
Effortlessly gliding through life
Not what they appear
Painful scars covered up
Masks to hide the tears
Parading up and down
Don’t reveal the fear
Dancing feet scurry by
Twirling delicately each day
Tiptoeing around the darkness
Desperately seeking a way
Holding tight to illusions
Mirrors of perfection held high
Don’t let anyone see
Pray they just pass by
Streets paved with eggshells
Treading ever so lightly
Lest the world cave in
Never reveal the unsightly
Swinging through the air
Up and down they go
Stepping in front of the curtain
Putting forth the best show
