Another day has passed, and today we not only begin a new week, but we begin a fresh start. Today is Day 26 of our Lenten Journey. Today is the fourth Sunday of Lent. As always, we have the opportunity on this day to start anew. After such a long week, I had to reflect on some things in order to move forward. To ensure that I did not begin this week similar to how I ended last week, I realized, while reflecting, that I am not always honest with God. I had to come to terms with the fact that there were some things that I was keeping from God. Today, I have decided that in order to fully be who I wanted to be in God’s eyes, I had to STRIP DOWN TO NAKED.
Oftentimes, when speaking to God, I fail to state my true feelings. I suppose in a weird sort of way, I believed that if I didn’t voice it, the things that I felt would go away, or God wouldn’t know or understand my heart. I was afraid to tell God that I was angry with Him. I felt ashamed for being frustrated and sometimes, I really didn’t know what I was feeling. Once I decided to STRIP DOWN TO NAKED, I felt relief about telling my true feelings to God. I had to ask “why me” many days. I had to ask “when will it be over” numerous times. I was ashamed to ask God these questions; thinking that it reflected my lack of faith in Him.
After much reflecting, I am relieved that I did finally STRIP DOWN TO NAKED. I told God that I was angry with him. I finally let go of my frustration. I apologized for the times that I questioned Him and failed to see Him in the midst of my pain. This is the time that I enjoyed the most during my journey. Now that I am stand before God with my bare soul, I am completely available for all that He has waiting for me. I am free to fully walk into my purpose.
