The Real Me

It is so easy to pretend to be ok, to pretend to be something that we're not. But what's the point of pretending when God sees the real you any way? We can fool each other, but there's no way to fool God. He doesn't care what you've done, where you've come from, or who you are pretending to be...no, He loves us ALL just as we are!

We need to be able to just open up our hearts and let Him in; to let Him heal our brokeness. He knows what we're going through, He knows that life isn't always going to be easy...but then He never said it would be. God has a HUGE heart and His love can soothe the hardest heart! We need to realise that unless we can be true to ourselves, God can't use us...He has a significant plan for each of our lives, but He can only use us if we let Him...we need to stop hiding ourselves and let God into EVERY part of our lives...otherwise we're just pretending...we're fake, and most of all...we're missing out on all that God has promised us!

I love the song by Natalie Grant called "The Real Me". I've posted the lyrics here, and you can listen to the song through my music player at the bottom of this page.

THE REAL ME

Foolish heart looks like we're here again

Same old game of plastic smile

Don't let anybody in

Hiding my heartache, will this glass house break

How much will they take before I'm empty

Do I let it show, does anybody know?

But you see the real me

Hiding in my skin, broken from within

Unveil me completely

I'm loosening my grasp

There's no need to mask my frailty

Cause you see the real me

Painted on, life is behind a mask

Self-inflicted circus clown

I'm tired of the song and dance

Living a Charade, always on parade

What a mess I've made of my existence

But you love me even now

And still I see somehow

That you see the real me
Hiding in my skin, broken from within
Unveil me completely
I'm loosening my grasp
There's no need to mask my frailty
Cause you see the real me

Wonderful, beautiful is what you see

When you look at me

You're turning the tattered fabric of my life into

A perfect tapestry

I just wanna be me

Cause you see the real me
Hiding in my skin, broken from within
Unveil me completely
I'm loosening my grasp
There's no need to mask my frailty
Cause you see the real me

And you love me just as I am

Wonderful, Beautiful is what you see

When you look at me
