Are you wearing a mask?
Hurts cause us to wear masks?
Today, many in the church are talking about the identity crisis in our nation and assuming that sexual immorality is the core issue. However, the real identity crisis, the root of the problem is our God-given identity has become distorted due to internal hurts.
We are wearing masks to cover those hurts.
Mask of Depression to cover up the broken heart and a feeling that there is no hope.
Mask of Idolatry – trying to find love in all the wrong places to cover up the feeling of not being accepted or loved. Mask of perfectionism or OCD to cover up the deep-rooted insecurity and inferiority that comes with a feeling of never being accepted and that you have to work to earn love and respect.
Take the mask off! Allow God to heal your broken heart (Luke 4:18).
“Restore us to yourself, Lord, that we may return; renew our days as of old.” Lamentations 5:21
