One of the boldest steps you will ever have to take is being vulnerable with someone, something etc, it is a very risky step to take considering who you are being vulnerable with, it entails total surrender, total submission and total trust, and it takes courage because of the following pointers,
Being vulnerable-
It’s like going to war with no armour, relying on another for protection
Going shopping with no credit cards, depending on another for payment
Standing in the freezing cold trusting another for warmth.
It’s an agreement with no form of documentation to proof it, Lawyers will hate this one(lol) because this agreement will not stand a chance in the court of reason
Is being colour blind when others see the bright red stop sign, with the traffic official throwing him/herself in front of your brake less vehicle, heading to a place you do not know trusting who ever invited you.
The main question is are you able to withstand impacts from whom you are being vulnerable with because the bible says man will fail you;’psalm 146v3
A wise man once said “if you don’t know the use of a thing, person, situation…… abuse is inevitable” (Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo)
Abuse is the return ticket you will have on the way back from the journey of wrong vulnerability and the movie playing in that flight is the very popular epic called REGRET helping you relive the entire experience over and over again stopping you from reaching your destination, when you should be arriving the welcoming city of HEALING WOOD (kinda reminds me of the 40 years journey the Israelites embarked on).
Believe it or not at some point the REGRET airline gets tired of you and proposes to drop you off at one of the neighboring towns such as DEPENDAVILLE, BITTERLANE, LONELY DRY RESORT, SELF DOUBTING ESTATE and don’t forget the NEVER HAPPILY EVER AFTER LOW SELF ESTEEM with an added bonus of training you on how to gain a form of confidence in all the wrong places.
Right there beside you is a ticket stand, buying that ticket will take you on a first class flight journey in a speed of light to the arms of the MOST HIGH where you are free to be VULNERABLE with no fear, because His embraces will never fail you, His joy will envelop you completely and it will be your strength, His grace will cover you from the cold, His love will heal you and His promise will remind you who you really are, His shield will protect you, His hands will be mighty upon you, teaching you what to do.
Now…………I don’t know about you but that’s who I have every intention to be vulnerable with. TRUSTING GOD DAILY BECAUSE HE WILL NEVER FAIL ME (proverbs 3v5-8). I celebrate you all.
