However, listening today, the lyrics struck me in a peculiar way. I realized that I am quite capable of hiding my emotions behind a mask. The mask is what I chose for the world to see. For me, it was a bit of a protective mechanism. I thought if I never showed my heart, then it couldn't be broken. It was a meager existence of who I truly am.
I think, without sounding too general, a lot of men can do this. We can compartmentalize life by placing things in boxes in our minds. The problem is that when we put our hearts and emotions in one of those boxes is that sometimes lose track of the the box.
The inherent challenge is to open the box where our heart and emotions are stored , and never put them back in there.
To quote the song...
"The time has come at last
To throw away this mask
So everyone can see
My true identity..."
Psalm 143:9 "Deliver me, O LORD, from my enemies; I take refuge in you."
For
in the day of trouble He will conceal me in His tabernacle; In the
secret place of His tent He will hide me; He will lift me up on a rock -
