Vulnerability, the test of courage and bravery. The true estimate of our souls. The unveiling of our deepest thoughts and fears. Its like in Harry Potter when he looks in the mirror and everything he is scared of shows up but he can't let them win. Vulnerability is so scary, it makes me want to run in the opposite direction. I want to hide and cover up my wounds. I think bandaging up the parts will save me but it only breaks me.
The hardest thing in life and biggest testimony to faith is when someone uses your vulnerabilities against you. We finally build up the courage and knock the wall down only to be criticized by the same thing that sets us free.
Vulnerability is accepting the fear of the unknown and trusting God in guiding youre steps. Its about putting away all the traps and letting people in. I know I don't often let people in because once I do I know it is real. We all have a story to tell, all that separates us is if we tell it or not. God gives us these moments of vulnerability to reach us. Imagine this, God is born at the top of a ladder and us well, the bottom. Instead of climbing higher God humbles himself and climbs down to meet the needy. We are born at the bottom and while we have no right we spend our lives trying to climb up the ladder. Many of us will miss God as we strive to go up and he humbly goes down. Vulnerability allows us to meet him halfway on the ladder. We accept where we are and for who we are so we can look into the eyes of the one that made us.
We hide what we think makes us imperfect. We stash it away for those days we want to dwell and feel sorry for ourselves, at least I do this. Vulnerability is the only way we can share and receive love. Being our truest form. DON'T LET ANYONE HARDEN YOU HEART FOR BEING VULNERABLE. Instead thank God that he gave you the heart to be vulnerable. VULNERABILITY IS STRENGTH, COURAGE and BRAVERY. The only way to keep going and finding how who and why is by being vulnerable. The power of vulnerability can move mountains and connect tribes. Take that chance, ask them on the date, share your testimony, do something new. WHATEVER YOU DO REMEMBER THE POWER OF VULNERABILITY.
