Today's church service told a message of a wolf in sheep's clothing. It's the biblical fable that teaches Christians to look beyond what the eye see, and to understand that there are people in our lives that will be wolves masked as sheep. The message was, on a surface-level synopsis, teaching us to beware of deception.
I was saddened to realize that there was a particular wolf in sheep's clothing in my life. Someone who puts on a shiny smile, helps those that can't help themself at night, spouts bible verses and sings passionately in church, but that is really quite the different person underneath the exterior. Beneath the perfectly groomed mane, there's harsh judgement, hidden motives and seemingly false caring. There are phone calls for the sake of calling, but no listening ears on the receiving end.
I can only hope that my wolf in sheep's clothing will one day evolve a true sheep.
