We can open our hearts up to him by listening, talking, turning, and committing to being close to him.
When our hearts have been closed and vulnerability has become difficult, we need God's help to open up again.
God wants to give us the help we need, but we have to be willing to be vulnerable enough to ask him for it.
We'll be vulnerable with God when we believe he loves us, is interested in us, and has a plan for us.
In this week's Mini Quiet Time, we'll look at a story where Jesus had to choose to be vulnerable and what came as a result of his decision.
Giving God the opportunity to show how much he cares
We all want to be cared for, known, understood, and loved for who we are. God is the starting place for this kind of intimacy.
Even when we make mistakes and hurt God, he still sticks with us because he loves us. Nothing we do can drive him away.
Being vulnerable with God means being comfortable with our weaknesses because we know God’s power is greater than any of our weaknesses or flaws and that all our strength and courage comes from God. There’s freedom knowing that God loves us no matter what and can make us strong despite our weaknesses or insecurities.
