Life's Journey

There are many people including myself who have had moments along the path of life where we would try to fit into a skin that was not for us. There are many reasons behind why we do this and in the moment it seems like the right thing to do but the truth is, many of us are hiding behind a mask and we do not belong there.

We seek acceptance from others while allowing them to mold us into what they think we should be, despite the fact it may be the wrong path for us. We often allow this because it’s much easier for us to wear a mask to please them than it is to look fear of rejection into the face and go on living life without their approval. Instead, we should always strive to conquer fear of rejection and the wrath of hate that goes with our choice to “Just Be” because the fuel that lights the fire is from their lack of understanding.

What is even more important is God’s acceptance and if we are right with Him then that is the only acceptance we will ever need. He will send the right people our way to help encourage us once we make a choice not to live behind the mask.

Stop stuffing yourself into a dark closet, come out and look through the windows of life. Remove the mask and stop allowing yourself to be suffocated by people who really do not care because if they did then you would be able to be who you really are and they would lovingly accept that.
