Exodus 1 & 2; Psalm 88; Luke 21; Ephesians 1

naked and exposed.....but not so much ashamed this morning....as....as...resting in You. That's what it 'feels' like anyway......

today is my Mom's BD. Why won't I be naked and exposed in front of her? I can imagine it hurts her.....I choose my nakedness?? I control it?? I pushed and shoved and tried to 'give' something I didn't have and as per usual in 'failure' I run, build walls...quit....And to admit...really see how much I hurt people.....I stubbornly refuse to allow You to be 'enough' in most relationships, to just love them...no to allow You to love them thru me....how much that must hurt You......

So a resolve to be naked and exposed?...no...a crying out to You I can't do it without You.

Ephesians 1: 11 In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, 12 in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory. 13And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession—to the praise of his glory.

Your plan......Your Spirit....naked and exposed today.......the purpose of Your will...help me Abba I can do nothing without You.
