Chamel who?

Dear Chameleon,

A chameleon is of course a good thing. God made it. everything God made is good-except cockroaches of course :)
But then usually you only notice the chameleon when it's not blending. When it's green on a brown surface or when it's brown on a blue. That's when I like them, when they're visible.

I think that a chameleon hides because it's afraid. Fear of being eaten, of being noticed, of being hunted, fear of being alone. You are made exactly the way you are. Perfect as God planned.
So why hide? I'm guessing it's because you're afraid. But you know you shouldn't be. IF you're always changing, how can be people get close to you? And if you don't let people close to you, you'll feel alone even though you aren't.

But because of who we are and what we have. We will always be the shining green chameleon. Green on brown. We will always be different. We should always be different. And Because we live in Him, we have nothing to fear. And if we have no fears, we don't have to hide. But most importantly, being a chameleon is like lying to yourself because you loose your identity when you keep swtiching colours. And you can lie to us, you can lie to you but you can't lie to God. And if you keep trying to be something other than you, you can't grow.

I like this verse, from Isaiah 25:1
O Lord, I will honour and praise your name, for you are my God...

out.

come now is the time to worship
come now is the time to give your heart
come just as you are to worship
come just as you are before your God.
