Taking Off The Mask

The trouble is not always taking off the mask, the true fight is not putting a new one on.  The Father is serious about not hiding.  The "holy",  the church has been after in my lifetime is morality.  The "mask" of morality is a tricky one,  if we meet the standards of "holy morality" it can leave you empty.  The standards in my lifetime have been; 1. Do you go to "church"? 2. Do you drink? 3. Do you have sex outside of marriage? 4. Are you saved? 5. Do you listen to rock 'n' roll?  I have taken off or put on all these masks in my search for meaning and none of it met my deep meaning of belonging.  My deep need of belonging is met in my relationship with my Father, a place where all the masks are taken off and I find out He just loves me period.
