I know I am not truthful to even myself (this happens often to me anyway), I think we all go through that when we try to be someone what we actually are not
we 'act' out a lot, even to God but the Word says everthing is laid bare before Him.
We cannot hide ourselves from our Creator Who knows the very intent and motives of our heart.
Every thought and the reason behind every one of our actions are known to Him.
But yet we seem to forget this truth so easily and fall into a mould where our faith becomes a 'religion' where, all we do gets more ritualisitic each day and we try to satisfy our ego of being the 'faithfullest' by the 'proper doing' of things with no heart in it.
But God is Spirit and when we worship Him, we ought to do it in spirit and truth, yes we know that too but when we sing to Him and worship Him, do we really mean every word we say? or do we say it out of an emotional high and then forget it for good? One thing I have understood is that though we forget what we tell God, He always remembers every word of it. (Most of us know that too but we slip away from this right? I do, amybe you dont). So we better be careful when talking to Him, especially when we tell Him things like, 'Lord I love you, I will serve you, and use me and break me..."
Ok and I think a whole lot of our attitude toward God reflects in our attitude to people. If we r not true to God,
how can we be true to people, who cant read our thoughts. So we lie to them in our words, actions...we become flatterers (not real encouragers), men pleasers, bitter inside but sickeningly sweet outside, very pious outside but rotten inside, gossipers and accusers with real insecurity problems...I could just go onBut what I want to point out is the mask which we wear day in and out. I really want to just rip those masks (social, intellectual, emotional,religious...) which I am wearing and be myself as God created me to be...yes with failures, mistakes, problems but a genuine desire to change for the better.
