Most of us are reluctant to be vulnerable with others. We view our flaws and mistakes as faults, and weaknesses. We don’t want to be ignored, or dismissed. We fear rejection. Yet, perfect love – God’s love for us, in us and through us – removes fear. We are freed to be real, authentic people who pursue God and others. People need to know that are loved – right where they are. Right now. Only by being honest and real, will others feel safe and be willing to risk being loved, trusting love, accepting love.
