Everybody is original, if he tells the truth, if he speaks from himself. But it must be from his true self and not from the self he thinks he should be. (Brenda Ueland)
I found this quote on a fellow blogger's website. It is so easy to get caught up in the self I think I should be instead of the real me. I so want to live from true authenticity. I believe it is the only way to really show Jesus and to teach my child(ren) how to be really in love with Jesus. It is not the mask that Jesus loves, but the person behind the mask. The one with the age spots and crows lines from too much sun. The one who weaps and laughs, feels angry or excited, gets "nothing" done or checks off all the "to do" list items. That is the person Jesus loves.
