Dressing in costumes can be fun, but the masks we wear every day are not so fun. Every day it seems like we put on a mask and try to hide who we really are. But God wants us to be who we really are, to be ourselves, to be who God has called us to be. If you pretend to be better than you really are or believe that you are worse than you really are, bad things can happen. Find out who God says you are and then be that person!
