Day Thirty // March 31 // Deceit “If you wear a mask for too long, there will come a time when you cannot remove it without removing your face.” – Matshona Dhliwayo –
We live in a day of appearances. We want people to think well of us. We want to appear like we have it all together. We mask our struggles and our doubts. And in trying to be who we think others want us to be, sometimes we deceive ourselves – we forget who we really are. If faithfulness is being true to God, then deceit takes that original, unique creation that God made us to be and hides it under a bushel basket. To be faithful means to be honest. It means to be real. It means to be honest about what we want and need and not play passiveaggressive games.
