God's goodness over our lives far exceeds anything we've experienced.

We've only yet splashed around in the shallows of God's deep love and mercy.

In order to dive deeper into the fullness of life available to us,

we must learn how to posture our hearts. May your relationship

with God be enriched this week as you position yourselves to receive all your loving Heavenly Father has to give.

And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of

him to whom we must give an account.

Hebrews 413. I've spent countless exhausting hours in my fleeting life working to

portray myself as a person I know I'm not. Whether in relationships with friends, family, my spouse, or God. I find

myself consistently creating a facade for myself I hope others will like better than who I actually am. I feared that if I truly

open myself up to others and got rejected I would have nothing left. If I am fully myself, will I be enough?

Hebrews 413 says, and no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him

whom we must give an account.

Scriptures like this used to seriously frighten me. The idea that an all-powerful, all-knowing

and perfect Holy God knew everything I had ever done was too invasive for me.

If I couldn't even muster up the courage to truly be myself to man,

how could I handle being naked and exposed to my Heavenly Father? It wasn't until I began

experiencing the powerful overwhelming love of my Heavenly Father that these

frail false constructions began to fall apart brick by brick

lie after lie. The process God takes us through and unveiling our hearts represents his perfect kindness,

patience and pursuit of us.

He waits for us to come before him openly and honestly
