For Real?

Many of the most renowned authorities in the world of psychology speak to "being your authentic self" in other words "are you for real"? Is the person you show to the outside world really you or do you put on a persona for others to see. I remember my grandmother saying "you can walk on your tippy toes for just so long, but then it becomes uncomfortable and you have to walk flat footed". Are you for real? Faking who you are is a waste of time and energy. And let's just be honest. God knows your heart. Are you for real? Authenticity should be valued, expected and most importantly modeled. Are you for real? Be your authentic self. It's what God expects and it sure sets a good example for your children.
