Finding a way out of the labrynth of hiddness is not easy for most of us. Many of us have spent years practicing and performing in the mental maze of hiddeness. We think we are protected there, so we keep searching for new protective pathways. The problem is that as we continue on this journey we are working our way toward exhaustion. We are headed to a turn in the labrynth that brings disillusionment and despondency because we can never find a pathway that fully and completely protects us.
We spend so much self-effort and striving to please others and to mask our real selves. It is really maddening and yet we keep on keepin on, and some times get validation from those around us who don't know any better themselves. And then the ulitmate, we think that all this effort and moral striving pleases God. It is all a lie. It is all deception and it will never lead to fulfillment.
We have lost sight of this truth, "Without faith (trust), it is impossible to please God". Hebrews 11:6 What is trusting in God all about you say? It is first about acknowledging our hiddeness, our efforts to be in control, make our own way, be all powerful. It is coming to grips with the fact that the life I've been living is all about me and I've been bluffing my way along, caught in this hideous labrynth. How to get free, how to find my way out, is there hope? Can you relate to the labrynth of hiddeness? Are you there now? Stay tuned, there is hope, there is a way out. There is good news.
