Exceptional NaPoWriMo Contest Entry #18 Everyday Miracles : Masks by DeboraDyess

I wear a mask to hide my face 'though I'm a sinner, saved by grace. While speaking words and singing hymns, I hide away my secret sins.   This mask I have, it is not new. I know others who have quite a few. We put them on, I guess, because we'd like to think the mask is us.   But worship needs integrity and I can't hide what God can see.. He never for perfection asks -- It's time now to remove that mask.         Author Notes This is one of my biggest gripes about the church (in general). Why do we, who acknowledge that we're no better than the average Joe feel the need to hide our sorrows, concerns, anger, etc from our church family? I don't get it. My blessing is that I have a church family who accepts me - all m y faults, goofs, dumb questions and comments... They love me regardless. I hope you have that church in your life, too. It's the family God wants.
