Take Off the Mask

Posted on by Marla

 Take off the mask you hide behind
Let’s see the face if true, if kind…
The mask that says, I’m fine and well
And keeps me at arm’s length, don’t tell
The mask that only outsiders see;
Not the hurt or pain inside of thee…
Take off the mask of shame and guilt
Where hard knocks and life struggles built
Walls of mistrust doubt and fear…
Open up let me draw near…
A smiling face, but eyes untrue
Tells me that this is not the real you…
Take off the Mask and let me in…
Dare to do it…be brave and begin…
For masks only hide what’s on the outside…
A short time…
Take a chance…take off the mask…
This one thing, is all I ask.
Open your heart and trust me.
I’ve come to remove the mask
I’ll restore the broken places and loneliness;
I’ll transform the hurting faces
Where turmoil and anguish made their home
Authentic, honesty and love will be known
To those who humbly remove their masks!
~Jesus

I love the Lord Jesus Christ and am passionate about writing. I hope you enjoy the blog and come to visit often. Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry. “Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith. Habakkuk 2: 2-4
