Happy And FreeSample

Maybe you’ve heard of the story of Adam and Eve, when they rebelled against God by eating the forbidden fruit. (See Genesis 3 for the whole story.) In that moment, everything changed. They heard God walking in the garden and  they hid. It was the first time this ever happened. They felt guilty and ashamed, and we’ve been hiding from God ever since. 

We too have rebelled against God. We’ve messed up. We’ve made mistakes. We’ve tried to cover them up, and desperately hoped no one would ever find out. We create masks that are mere projections of the real us. We project ourselves as better than we are. It’s just our way of hiding. 

In what ways do you distort reality so people will see you as better than you are? (Family, Work, School, Social Media, Gym, Neighborhood, Church, etc.).
