We are all human and as a result not one of us is perfect. It is impossible to be no matter how hard you try. Sometimes you do things to hurt people and people will at times do things that hurt you. It’s just a product of our brokenness.
To try and keep from being emotionally and mentally damaged, many choose to practice self-preservation. Maybe this is you. Some do it so well, they never let their guard down to allow anyone into their life other than surface details.
You may feel in doing this you are helping yourself, but in reality all you’re doing is creating a wall that prevents you from feeling anything—making you emotionally numb.
Hiding yourself away doesn’t open you up to live your best life. God planned a life of abundance for you and all He’s waiting on for you to step into it is you!
I encourage you to step out from your hiding and step into the promises of God. Because of His gracious gift of Jesus, He is always with you and waits with open arms to love you unconditionally—even through all your hurts and hangups.
Pray today for God to create in you a heart that wants nothing more than to seek Him. Ask Him to renew your love for Him daily and for His strength to come through where you are weak so that you can focus on and look to Him above anything else.
How steadfast is your love for Him? How do you share His love with those around you?
