Jesus modeled vulnerability when He walked as a man...

Jesus modeled vulnerability; He remained authentic- true to the plans God made for Him. He could do this because He knew Who He belonged to-His Father was "well pleased" with Him & He was approved. Until a person knows they're approved-they fear ridicule & rejection from others. Jesus boldly carried out the requests from God because He knew He was loved-trusting God to sustain & supply all His needs. God's love gives you the courage to follow Jesus; His love is your life line-continuing to increase your freedom as you move closer to Him. Do you feel misunderstood or disconnected? Do you have secrets you will take to your grave for fear others would not accept you? Do you only show parts of you-fearing the other parts of you would be rejected? Go to Jesus, your only source for answers. He's waiting to show you love (Rev 3:20). His love gives you life, direction & purpose. Forgetting the past & looking forward to what lies ahead (Phil 3:13). Embrace God's truth... you're His masterpiece-created to do the good things He planned long ago (Eph 2:10)! Have you completely surrendered to Jesus-making Him not only your Savior but your Lord? If you're holding back- you will hold back from others; your relationship with Jesus is reflected in your relationship with others. You will never experience the fullness & completeness Christ wants to offer you-until you completely surrender. Where the Spirit of the Lord is-there is freedom (2 Cor 3:17)! Let God open up your mind to understand His Word (Lk 24:45). You were designed by Him to connect intimately, be vulnerable & walk with others to carry out His plans. Get quiet & listen... the Advocate, Strengthener, Standby, Holy Spirit, Whom the Father sent to represent Jesus & act on His behalf, He will teach you all things-He will remind you of & bring to memory everything you need to know (Jn 14:26). You are loved my friend-let God show you how you can love & connect with others the way He designed...be vulnerable & experience authenticity! 6/23/13CIFL/LMM
