The Layers
Purity of Mind: Day 7 - Removing the mask
Luke 12:1-3
Watch yourselves carefully so you don't get contaminated with Pharisee yeast, Pharisee phoniness. You can't keep your true self hidden forever; before long you'll be exposed. You can't hide behind a religious mask forever; sooner or later the mask will slip and your true face will be known. You can't whisper one thing in private and preach the opposite in public.
There is a quote from the movie shrek, which I can't remember completely, but it talks about people being like onions and having lots of layers. Well I think over the last couple of years I have changed heaps as a person and I think that a lot of this has to do with the fact that over the last few years I have been shedding the layers that I wore, or the masks that I wore when I was with others. The masks that made me feel safe and secure, the ones that made me feel pretty, cool and confident.
