I've acted so well, that I've deceived myself. For SO many years, the world has simply been my stage.
To help you out with this analog, think about this question:
What happens on a stage (or in a play)?
A: A character is created that is different from one self, and then shown to an audience that praises the actor.
This is exactly what has happened for so long. I've played the wise, kind, caring, righteous ministers kid.
Church: has been another stage to play at.
Christian: another character to form.
And I've done it for my audience.
But, I've realised my faith needs to be MORE then just acting. My faith needs to be a complete heart-felt passion. And everything I do needs to be done for God's eyes, I've taken to repeating to myself when doing 'good deeds' (keeping in mind, nothing I do isn't stained by my stuff-ups) 'for you & you alone, for you & you alone.' I need to have HEART-FELT actions for my king. I can have all the wisdom, & kindness in the world, but if I don't have a heart for God, then it counts for nothing. I can act this part so well. But if I have no lasting faith, it means NOTHING.
