“God doesn’t want to change your conduct, He wants to change your character.”
“God is the potter and we are the clay.” We need to focus on God molding us into what He wants us to be. Your life should be just as much the same in public, as it is in private. What we watch on television, read in books, and places we dwell, should all be things that can be shown in public atmosphere. The things you value in shadows, will eventually come to light. No matter how much you hide something or cover it up, when you wear one mask to yourself and another to the multitude, eventually you will forget which one you are hiding.
We try so hard to mask those things we don’t want others to find out about, rather its something you feel others will not accept, or something God himself will not tolerate. But over time we wear the “hidden” mask so frequently, we sometimes grab it in a rush and wear it in moments we deem forbidden. And eventually, the two faces have a tendency to become one. Now we can’t turn them off and on.

If our character is different, if what we value and believe is that of alignment with God, then there is only one face. The right face. The right attitude. The same things you say and do in the safety of your home, you would do in the “openness” of a football stadium, with cameras focused on you, flashing. You become a practitioner of the Living Word, and a proprietor of the truth. You are disrobed in the spirit, hiding nothing. Exposed to the world, but reborn as a naked child of God.
