Is being authentic a pursuit? Mask wearing and people pleasing stems from fear. It is the fear of being yourself and not being accepted as a result. If God has accepted you. You have every ability to be yourself, securely as you are. You just need Holy Spirit empowered steps.

If authenticity is not a pursuit because you fear this selfish mambo jumbo thing, then know that the fear of pursuing authenticity is also another form of fear. Yes getting to know yourself has its obstacles because the process of bring people from a stranger to become a friend is not the easiest thing after the Fall. But you can’t afford any other way. The Holy Spirit is waiting to use YOU, not the person you are more proud and happy to be.
