So - yes, we shall cut right to the chase. My nakedness (my open, real, vulnerability) brings an opportunity for Jesus. He doesn't mind it at all, He is actually drawn to it!!! When He sees my nakedness, He want to cover it. He can give me something that will cloth me, keep me protected, and benefit me. If I try to cover myself with different things I am only prohibiting being covered by God.
On my recent vacation I found that no matter where I was at or what I was doing within myself I could connect with God ALL the time when I was being deeply vulnerable with him. In the places of my heart where I thought I would get him mad or he thinking he would think my comments to be petty or not "holy" enough I found him there so strongly in my weakness. I would just simply tell him how I felt, like I would a trusted friend, and BOOM he would be right there.
Soon I found myself falling in love with the person I was whispering my heart to. Each time he would receive my brokenness with kindness, patience, and just simply listening to me; my heart would melt a little more. It was such an incredible draw I could not deny it nor did I want to. I was feeling and experiencing Love himself. He is amazing and nothing like my mind tells me he is.
If you feel inspired at all by this I would say, talk to Jesus and simply be with Him and say whatever it is on your mind. Let him see a glimpse of what you really think, believe, and even are not sure about. For some reason I thought I had to be settled with things before I talked to him. He's actually great at helping to figure things out!
Jesus is a real person and I'm excited to experience him on a depth that changes the rest of my life. I smell a journey coming on!
