No more pretending

I love pretending. I work with preschool kids and we have fun pretending to be a chef at a resturant or a builder with the blocks. I can't believe what kids come up with to pretend to be! I was listening at a song in my car one afternoon this week taking about becoming closer to God but on your way to getting closer with him, stop pretending to be a Christian, to talk like a Christian, to act like a Christian. The more I thought about the words and the message of this song, the more I realized God was downloading something in my spirit. Just like the kids I interact with everyday, who pretend because that's the way they learn I play pretend with God alot. I raise my hands in worship, sometimes I say all the right things. I pretend to have it all together in front of Him but hello! He knows me. I want be raw and real before God because He is to me. And the amazing thing about God is HIS GRACE! No matter what I do, His grace looks into my eyes and says I still love you no matter what, let me pick you up and experience me, drink from me! So I am challenging myself, NO more pretending, why would I need to?
