I see clearly that our old age drops all it's guard to appear good, when we get too old to control all those inner feelings, the real us emerges in all its fullness, for everyone to see.
If we were crabby inside, but calm on the outside, our crabby will emerge in our old age. People do not become something they are not, all their lives, they just stop trying to impress others and the real self comes out.
Whatever you have developed in your inner being all your life, that is what others will see when we become too weary to keep up pretenses any more.
Take care to inventory your inner attitude, because one day it will expose you, not only in this life but in eternity.
If we think we can get away with pretending, remember that one day when we are too old and tired to care if anyone likes us, then we will be utterly exposed.
And, remember that God already knows, there is no fooling Him.
