What's Behind the Mask?
Our outward appearance has certainly changed! It is very hard to tell if someone is sad or happy because most of their face is covered. While during this crisis we can assume most people are totally stressed out, but we still do not really know what they are personally going through. Is a family member sick, are they separated from family, have they suffered the loss of a loved one, are they struggling to feed their children, have they lost their job or maybe they are simply overwhelmed with fear. We simply do not know, but there is someone that does and that is God. He would love them to know that He sees what they are going through and wants them to know His love & comfort is right there for them. A love and a peace like no other, but He needs a messenger to let them know.
While these days we can easily see the face coverings they are really always there. We are great at disguising what is truly going on in our hearts. The Holy Spirit has little trouble penetrating our defenses especially when it is delivered through surprising acts of kindness. We have been performing monthly acts of kindness out in busy public places for over 25 years. Through a simple practical gift or helpful service provided and a Connect Card that gives Jesus all the glory we have witnessed many powerful transformations in the faces of the recipients! Smiles can go to tears in a heartbeat as they feel God's love reaching out to them at some pretty unusual times & places! The split second timing and powerful testimonies leave little room for doubt of His divine presence! These Connect cards also serve as a warm invite to come to your church/school/youth activities... where they can experience more of this amazing love! This is why routinely doing PACK (Planned Acts of Christian Kindness) builds both faith & Kingdom. PACK is now at work in 113 countries around the world. While this current pandemic is most certainly causing immense pain & suffering this pales in comparison to the present and eternal carnage being caused by sin & Satan. So please remember that when these external masks are gone everyone is still sporting one of their own. Give the Spirit a chance to take down that "window dressing" and deliver true healing within the heart. The PACK program download is totally FREE, no catch, no donations, no spam.
