Meditations on "Vulnerability"

It's time to stop pretending.  We need to say what we mean and mean what we say.

God has done many things for us, and we can now say with confidence, “He truly is a miracle worker”.

O Lord, what are human beings that you should notice them

We need to stop covering up inferiority feelings and instead focus on what God says.

The wisdom that Jesus gave us is, to love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind, and love your neighbour as yourself.

The wise are cautious and avoid danger; fools plunge ahead with reckless confidence. (Proverbs 14:16)

In difficult times, rather that running from God, we need to draw closer to Him and let His unfailing love ease the pain we are feeling. 

Strength comes as we learn to give thanks to our gracious God who is good, and whose love is available to us 24/7.

Be kind and merciful, and forgive others, just as God forgave you because of Christ. (Ephesians 4:32)

We were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.

When we are “poor in spirit” we will humbly live in the grace and favour of God. 

God's word as recorded in the Bible is the standard against which all of us must measure our behaviour.
