We all wear masks. The troubled woman haunted by her fears on the inside wears a smile on her face. The man who has lost his job and family holds the look of a calm expression. And, at school, the popular guy or girl's parents just got a divorce, but you would never know it. A superficial mask of contentment adorns their outer appearance, but on the inside they are anything but content. At one time or another, we may put on a mask to hide our feelings, our emotions, and our true self from others.
This whole world is basically a vast masquerade that goes parading by in the form of hidden lives everyday. Shattered dreams, broken hearts, destroyed lives...all masked with smiles and laughter.
Many people wear this mask very well, and even you can have everyone around you fooled. But you CAN'T fool God. He knows us, not by the mask we don, but by the extent of our hearts. He is the ONE who sees you beyond your hypocrisy, but still loves you anyway.
For all those who live life behind the mask, there is only one who can truly peer into your heart. Jesus is the only true cure for the life lived behind the mask.
