This is another one from the 1984 archives...
My name -
It means truth;
Yet, is that actually me?
I seem to be a facade,
A false front.
I am different on the outside
Than I feel on the inside.
The funny thing is
that I am two persons outside.
To some I am one way,
To others another,
And neither is the real me.
Help me, Oh God,
To be the truth-
To show others what lies within;
To always be honest
No matter who I am with.
That everyone can see -
Jesus in me!
Thank you for sharing this. I don't really think (in one sense) your parents named you Alethea, I think God had your parents name you Alethea. One of many beauties of our life in Christ is that we are becoming who we are in Him; your name is being worked out in you.
