Vulnerability leads to authenticity...but it involves you taking the risk to let others see who you are-mistakes, desires, fears, dreams, struggles-exposing the hidden parts of your soul. It's a scary, heart pounding, battle of your mind & spirit; you know once the words are spoken they can't be retrieved. It's when you bring what you hid in the dark into the light-the very same words that have bound you in shame...are now the very same words that will set you free!
What you keep in the dark keeps you in darkness-it must be brought in the light to lose its power! It's the things you've held onto out of fear-the enemy convinced you that if you exposed these things you will cause harm to yourself & others...don't take the enemy's bait-it's self imposed emotional blackmail. This cheats you & those you love out of knowing & accepting all of you-you only present what you believe they will accept; you know you're not being authentic but fear convinces you others will either lose respect for you or won't be able to deal with what you did. So you only share parts of you but feel like a fake-forever thinking, if they find out who I really am they will reject me. Listen closely, if you're saved-you're free...where the Spirit of the Lord is-there is freedom! God has accepted & approved every part of you-your wrongs have been worked into God's plans; He will bring to completion the good work He started in you until the day Jesus Christ returns! God also helps each person work through grief & heartaches to include those you love; He will help them deal with whatever you need to tell them. God wants to encourage & soothe you with His love-giving you hope & a future!
Renew your mind with His promises-His truth stomps out the lies of the enemy. God's love doesn't increase or decrease according to your obedience, He doesn't get angry & take His love back, He doesn't grow tired of you...no, no, no! He loves all of you all of the time, until...for all of forever-because His Spirit has sealed you! God accepts & approves you; His approval pushes you through & catapults you over the things that you try to hold you back from Him using all of you for His glory! His approval gives you the guts to be vulnerable so you can be the authentic you He created you to be be you...will you let God fulfill His purpose through you?
