Have you ever thought about the complexity of lace curtains? I know they weren't meant to have a deep hidden meaning, but they do. Think about it - lace curtains exist to let us see outside, but to make sure that no one can see in. They let the light in but keep everyone out. We're all like that - we want to be able to see out, to see everything that's going on. But we don't necessarily (if ever) want to let people see what's going on inside.
Why is that? The human race is supposed to love one another, care for one another. Yet we're all so private. It's hard to let someone in. But once we do, where are our lace curtains to keep our most private thoughts and desires private? Better yet, why do we think we can have lace curtains with God? He's all-knowing, all-seeing. Why do we think we can hide our deepest, darkest secrets from Him? He always sees them, and He loves us even more than any of us can comprehend in spite of them. Is it human nature to doubt a love that never ends, the "blindest" love of them all? Is that why we have Lace Curtains: to hide our hurts, our hang-ups, and our embarrassing actions/thoughts from a God that we don't think can love us unconditionally?
