The masks range from eloquent to creepy and allowed common folks to mingle with the elite without the fear of rejection. Are you lost inside the lonely game you play; lost in a masquerade? The lives of some Christians are continual masquerade balls. Because of their pride, they don’t really allow anyone to know who they are nor do they allow God to work on them and they become lost.
