authenticity...

I'm learning so much from the Lord lately. Recently, He keeps showing to me what it means to be authentic. Daily before him I find myself getting wrapped up in the same prayer over and over. And I seem to try and hide who I am to Him. And His question is, "Hannah, why in the world would you try to be someone different, when I am the one person who knows the most about who you are?" He loves me no matter what. He knew who I was before the foundations of the world. SO, lately, I've tried to be so authentic to him. Just me, all me in all my disgusting "glory". And I don't think i've ever felt any closer to him than I have in the last day or so. i've finally taken off my mask, my religious, churchy mask. I looked up what authenticity means in the good 'ole Webster's dictionary... authenticity: not false or imitation; real, actual... to God be the glory...
