Today’s Word:
It's easy to go through life wearing masks, acting one way for our boss, one way for our friends, and another way for our spouse. Because we're not secure in who we are, we feel a need to impress, to prove something to people, so we pretend and hide behind personal masks.
Oftentimes it's the mask of pride. I don't have any issues. I don't need any help. But God will not bless who you pretend to be. God blesses people who are real, people who are honest enough to say, God, I have this bad habit. I'm struggling with my temper. I need Your help, so I'm taking off the mask.
When you're honest, you open the door for God to come in and change things. The apostle Paul said that love flows from a pure heart, a good conscience, and a sincere faith. It's time to take off that mask and be honest. When you get down to the real you, that's when God can turn things around.
Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge my transgressions... Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest... Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Prayer for Today:
Father, thank You for the goodness in my life. When I wake each morning, I praise Your name! You have given me life that is filled with beauty, and the breath in my lungs is a gift from You. My blessings are many and my heart is filled with gratefulness for the gift of living, for the ability to love and be loved, for the opportunity to see the everyday wonders of creation. Thank You that I don't have to hide my weaknesses or mask my shortcomings. Search my heart and show me where my motives are wrong and where I'm pretending. I humbly admit that I don't have it all together, and I'm glad You're still working on me. In Jesus Name, Amen.
100% to God = 0% Compromise to the world!
Happy and Joyful Sabbath as We are filled with this Hope that Burns within Our Heart!
We are United in Christ!
Jesus is Coming Very Soon!
PRAISE THE LORD!π
