You probably learned early on to put on masks and disguise flaws you didn't want anyone to see.
Jesus calls that kind of behavior the "yeast of the Pharisees" or "hypocrisy". It's all about pretending to be something you're not — putting up a front to conceal your true identity. God wants you to be see-through-transparent. A transparent person shows a completely honest face to himself, to others and to God.
Easier said than done? But being transparent is the only way people can get to know and love the real you.
