Pretender… Are you?

  

great-pretender

Quite a lot of people I meet day to day. My line of work has able me to greet and talk to folks with black, white & brown skin. Some of them having pointed or flat nose and even small or big brown eyes, with courage and without. You’ve got to be flexible enough to crack a joke with them to halt any tension that may arise while they were waiting for right kind of tools they want as many times some of them do not know the part number of the correct tools they require. So we resort to description, symbols and uses it may have to get a grip of it.

When we discover the right part number, then we suggest them to please take note of it so in the next time we will be spending a shorter time looking for such.  Then we will take their staff number to record the borrowed tools under their name.

Some guys by the way are giving a bogus staff number, so as not to tie his name to the tools he wanted in many case. That’s why many tools are lost due to some irresponsibility of few. They don’t want to get bother to return it back and clear their own real names and staff number for that case. Well, they're trying to pursue what is required but pretending someone he wasn’t. Tsk tsk…

Pretend

Pretending also occurs in many churches today and worse, as many people put on a false front, use the right “Christian” words or even pray before meals. They pretend to have it all together to gain the approval of others and not to endure on what the biggest struggle within. That brokenness, that doubt, or an addiction or other persistent sin.

My dears, God has placed us in a body of believers to gain support for the guilt we have inside. Admit it.., first thing, so we can have a wise counsel of a mature guy who experience such things and has a wide experiential wiseness. And thus…we can be set free to be from our sinful songs of life. Don’t stick to making a claim for yourself. Don’t entitle yourself to be good in this world to stay chain on numerous self-breakdowns. Stop pretending there’s nothing wrong in hiding sin and cover up. Do we got it? Confess, repent and live in freedom! Whoa!

The loving God will surely fill your heart with His song….. if you don't pretend to be what you are not.

VERSE-MEAL:
Confess your trespasses to one another and pray for one another that you may be healed. James 5:16
