"VULNERABLE BEFORE GOD'
from Rev. Esmie Rodriguez · host Esmie Rodriguez
What is Vulnerability? Vulnerability is the quality or state of being exposed to the possibility of being attacked or harmed either physically or emotionally. We often tend to open ourselves up to people whether its a friend or family member by putting ourselves at risk of being hurt by sharing what's on our thoughts or needs to them which can be very uncomfortable. It can be nerve racking, uneasy and scary because it's in our Vulnerability that we feel like we're losing a part of ourselves, when it's actually helping us to spiritually mature and grow in Christ as well as with those we love. It's in our Vulnerability that we must remind ourselves that we took courage to acknowledge that our Vulnerability has a solution, keeps us humble, deals with our pride, our emotions and reminds us that it's in our weaknesses that we are made strong in Christ. If this you come let us take a plunge in prayer and be Vulnerable before the Lord. Amen 🌹 (Psalm 139:1-2, 23-24) You have searched me, Lord, and You know me. (2) You know when I sit and when I rise; You perceive my thoughts from afar. (3) You discern my going out and my lying down; You are familiar with all my ways. (23) Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! (24) And see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting! 🌹 (Psalm 51:17) The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. 🌹 (Psalm 40:13, 17) Be pleased to save me, LORD; come quickly, LORD, to help me. (17) As for me, I am poor and needy, but the Lord takes thought for me. You are my help and my deliverer; do not delay, O my God!" 🌹 (II Corinthians 12:9) But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about My weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.
