Simple


I have a lot of thoughts stirring. I think I'm figuring a few things out... The simpler the terms the better...
What if everyday I just showed up as exactly who I was?
What if everyday I showed up knowing God loved me?
What if I showed up even when it was bad and emotionally taxing and I trusted God would be with me in it (whatever it is)?
What if I showed up with my single most pressing purpose as fully being who God made me to be?

There are moments when the light breaks through and I can envison the freedom, the weightlessness, of
living without insecurities.
I call it "giving my full face." The way God gives His full face to His children- full of love and tenderness and presence.
Not that I am so good that glory comes out of my pores, but by removing the masks that we make to survive, removing the feared expectation of what other people think and simply trusting God to be within you (and me), this may very likely be the gift and rescue the world is waiting for.

Amen.
