Is an impostor robbing you of Gods love Weve bought into the lie that we are worthy of Gods love only when our lives are going well. If our families are happy or our jobs are meaningful life is a success. But when life begins to fall through the cracks and embarrassing sins threaten to reveal our lessthanperfect identity we scramble to keep up a good front to present to the worldand to God. We hide until we can rearrange the mask of perfection. Sadly it is then that we wonder why we lack intimate relationships and a passionate faith. All this time God is calling us to take the mask off and come openly to Him. He longs for us to know in the depth of our beings that He loves us and accepts us as we are. When we are our true selves we can finally claim our identity as Gods childAbbas childand experience His pure pleasure in who we are. Brennan Manning encourages us to let go of the impostor lifestyle and freely accept our belovedness as a child of the heavenly Father. In Him there is life.
