Lezzbe honest, mkay?

     I just finished the book Scary Close, by Don Miller and I loved it. His main point was that the only way (or one of the only ways) to achieve real intimacy with someone in whatever relationship is to be open and honest. If you think about it, it makes total sense. If we go around presenting a front to the people we interact with because of insecurities, fears, or doubts, we essentially build a wall around ourselves. That wall inhibits growth, intimacy, joy, and fulfillment. Because at the end of the day (at least in my life) the only fulfillment I truly find is in my relationships with other people. 

     So let us pray to God to break down those walls so that we can build good, healthy, discipling relationships with each other. Let us pray that we would overcome our insecurities, realize we are all made perfect by Jesus' blood, and not one of us is better than another. Hopefully through doing this we can shine a light, and further His kingdom. 

     As Josh Garrels sings in his song, "Farther Along":

"Heaven filled me with more than enough

Broke down my levee and my bluff

Let the flood wash me."
