"We All Wear Masks"... The Sunflower is a clever one indeed. It’s flowering crown is so gloriously adorned, so magnificently petaled, so perfectly arranged that it distracts attention from its underside. That monotone pea-green prickly place filled with layers and tangles that dwells forever in shadow. Its an ugly place. A vulnerable place. A place no one would ever want to look, never mind display—or so it thinks. It’s able to keep up the charade until the bounty of its labors is ravaged by those who toiled for it not. A withered husk of what it once was, it staggers back and forth at the mercy of the wind.
I wonder for many how of us, this is our reality? How many of us are hiding behind a facade of perfection, casting our time, our talent, and our treasure to society's unworthy effigies. How many of us are left battered and broken from the struggle? You are precious in Gods sight. The glorious and not so glorious parts of you matter to Him. Stop competing. Stop hiding. Stop. Take your hands off the wheel-- and lift them up to God. Ask Him into your life today. For Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” Mt 11:28-29
