Suppose the look you had on your face five minutes ago was frozen on your face forever, what would that look be?
Time has a way tracing caricatures of our personalities onto our faces and locking them. It will take a ton of make up and a few plastic surgeries to hide what’s written on our faces.
In the theater, make up artists highlight or try to hide certain lines in our faces that reveal secrets.
For example, when there are deep lines between your eyebrows, it usually means that you frown a lot.
The superciliary arches, or the lines in your forehead reveal that you think a lot.
The nasalabial folds are the lines that run from your nose to your mouth on both sides. If they are deep, they usually mean you laugh and smile a lot.
Lines under the eyes and dark depressions usually indicate worry, stress, depression or a lack of sleep.
These lines are drawn in our faces by time, they tell who we are and give hints to what type of personality might be hidden behind our makeup.
Galatians 5:22-23 gives us a few personality traits that could paint a love set of lines on our faces. The verse says, “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.”
These personality traits tell the story of who we should be, the lines on our faces tell the real story.
They can be hidden or masked...
... but they can’t be undone.
