Masks. Halloween stores are filled with them. Did you see the TV show FACE OFF? Over its course, makeup artists competed to see who could create the most effective masks from makeup and prostheses. The results were astounding; aliens, men into women, animals, and even plants who were, underneath it all, just people.
We all wear them. Sometimes it involves makeup, sometimes it's an expression. Smiling when inside, we're screaming. A serious expression when we really want to laugh. Are we ever without a mask? Yes.
When we're living with prayer. Living the life God has given us. When we walk with God, there's no need to hide behind a mask of any sort. We're free to express all the God-like qualities with which we are, every one of us, endowed.
Error wears a mask, too. Error is another name for anything God didn't make. And if God didn't make it, we can't have it. Sometimes error wears a charming mask, trying to lead us into the temptation of falling into what it wants us to do. And it's nothing that's good for us, that's for sure.
How can we see through the masks? See things as God sees them. If you look with the eyes of Love reflecting Love, you'll never be fooled. Seeing the real man and woman as God created them, perfect, complete, and loving, is my daily goal.
