There's always a chance of someone we love or admire not liking who we really are, and walking away. When we're real, we are more vulnerable to insult, to words. But, Christians, God calls us to be real, and live in genuine faith without only white-washed tombs for souls. Half-hearted Christians are useless vessels.
And even though this seems like a bottomless habit we've fallen into, we won't have to save ourselves from the darkness. Christ is with us, encouraging us, picking us back up as we fall. His children will always be His. He will never walk away, never leave us, never forsake us. No matter who else in our lives walks out, He WILL be there. Trust Him. Fall in love with this Father who promises to uphold you in trial, and strip away the layers of falseness we try to hide under.
"God has given you a face, and you make yourself another." ~William Shakespeare
It does take courage to be and become who you are. But God has created you the way you are for a reason, and exemplifying His creation of you is only another way of glorifying Him. For in the long run, no man can climb outside of the limitations of his character.
May He get the glory for sincere friendships, real people, and a genuine walk with Him.
