Dumbfounded

It is truly amazing how deceptive people can be.

[Of course, some would argue that people are not deceptive, it is simply the enemy using people to spread his own deception and lies and treachery. But regardless of whether it is spurred by man himself or the enemy, deception is deception.]

People can be terribly two-faced.
They wear masks, you see.
Hiding.

But the mask is not ugly or terrifying.
Rather, it is radiant and beautiful. Masterfully crafted.
For it is comprised of things that look... are... good.

Truth.
Light.
Purity.
Holiness.
Godliness.
Righteousness.

Things of Christ, truly.
It looks real.

The thing is... we are supposed to find our identity in Christ.
We are not supposed to steal His identity to make ourselves seem... clean.

I am so very disappointed.
Saddened.
Disheartened.

... Praying.
