"Happy Plastic People" is part of a lyric from a Casting Crowns Song. As I was thinking about Barbie this morning, I realized that she is a happy plastic "person" (doll). She is always smiling, right. But the song isn't referring to molded BPA plastic dolls. It is referring to believers who are going through the motions, not sharing their reality, hoping no one will see through the facade. That's pretty heavy stuff. This led me to think about prayer and how God sees through the facade, to who we really are: through the "plastic" to the core of our reality. There is such comfort in that. Every single person on the face of the earth has this available to them...a relationship where all of the muck is stripped away to the simplicity of the real you and it is okay to let Him in. There is no fear of Him using that to hurt, mock or destroy you. You don't have to worry about His feelings for you changing or weather He will still like you. There is no judgement in that place. Instead, there is a true Friend who loves you just the way He made you. Amazing!
So, I profess to anyone who wants to read about it that I am not perfect, but I am perfectly made. I mess up, make mistakes, fail, have secrets and insecurities, hide my pain and regret my sin. Thank God that He sees through the facade to the real me...and loves me, not in spite of it, but because of it.
Today, I am happy I am human and not a "Happy Plastic" doll. She doesn't get to experience the awesomeness of a life as a believer, beloved by the One True God. Today, I am glad I am not living in a "Barbie Doll World!"
God Bless you!
