Jesus wants to create a safe place for you to be transparent with Him where you can ask questions and be real about your desires, doubts, disappointments, and dreams. He knows you and wants you to really Know Him. Is the thought of this kind of relationship with God comforting or uncomfortable, and why ?
I find it both. It’s comforting to know that God loves me so much that He wants to create a safe place for me where I can just be real and get to know Him and be known, regardless of what I’ve done all because He loves me for who I am. However, it’s uncomfortable because then I have to face the real. Although God sees more than I do, because He sees the finished jar of clay I will become, society’s pressures/ideals are still thrust at me. When I deal with the reality of me and my life, those ideals and temptations are also thrust at me. I need to break down that wall and trust God that He is greater and that when I am weak He is strong enough even to handle society because what He offers will bring me life and life abundantly rather than death and condemnation.
