I'm not alright
I was thinking how entertaining it would be, if we stopped hiding underneath layers of: designer clothing, polite responses and an overall image of being 'put together' and revealed the true state of our heart.
What would you look like right now, if you stepped out in public, with no walls up? Only truthful responses and an appearance that matched your heart.
Would you like a glimpse of how I feel at times?
My hair would be a massive frizzy mess, to reveal the state of my nerves after a few too many yes's and overcommitment takes its toll.
Dark, smudgy glasses would confess how much I fail to notice of God's blessing, provision and grace in everyday moments.
I'd wear a teal green pair of the old 80's ear muffs, demonstrating the way I sometimes tune out God's still small voice, gently guiding me in the way I should go.
Lastly, torn, stained clothing to give a glimpse into the state of my heart when my mind wanders through messy ugly places. Bitterness tears at the fabric. Greed and comparison stain the true colors.
In the spirit of pure truthfulness, I would break out in Sanctus Real's song, 'I'm not alright... I'm broken inside.'
Minutes before I completely loose it, a promising thought shines forth in my mind. "If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has gone, the new has come.'
What a glorious thing to hear, as I envision others reaction of my unsightly, shockingly true self.
I don't have to dress how I feel, or pull out my old hair crimper. I can turn to Christ for restoration. I imagine we would all spend a lot more time on our knees if our appearances depended on it.
He restores my wearied soul. "Come to me all who are wearied and heavy laden, for my yoke is easy and my burden is light." Matthew 10;28. I am reminded of how my savior is not a holy scorekeeper, tracking my accomplishments. His love is unconditional.
He washes my sin stained heart. "Come now, let us reason together," says the LORD. "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool." Isaiah 1:18. Though I am grieved by the state of my heart, what Jesus did on the cross is so complete it wipes away the darkness and stains. I am able to start fresh once again.
Perhaps I should find a radiantly white sweater to remind me..
Let's pray instead,
Lord, thank you for cutting through the armor of our image, and allowing us to be real with you and the true state of our hearts. Remind us that you are a holy physician who is able to heal our inner disease of sin and restore us to peace. Thank you for those walls we hit at times, that make us unable to go on in disguise of 'having it together." Humble us and bring us to our knees and thus closer to you. Amen.

Comfort zone.. or obedience?
Perfectionism encourages me to not venture out of my comfort zone. If I don't try, I won't fail. If this blog stays blank, no one can scoff at it.
But have you felt Jesus' gentle nudge? To reach out to that person, join a ministry, or follow a dream? Here comes that frightening feeling of stepping out blindly out in faith. To risk being misunderstood, falling flat on our face. What could make the risks all worth it?
We tend to immediately picture the worst case scenarios when stepping out of the box, but have you considered the only way to live God's best case scenario for your life is by obeying his call?
Mother Teresa described herself as being 'blessed with the gift of obedience.' When Jesus nudged her to do something, she naturally responded with obedience. Oh to live as productive and joy-fulled as she did. My track record shows a history of questioning, stalling and running the other way, like Jonah sailing away from Nineveh.
Thankfully our God is a God of second chances. When I'm real with him and confess that my desire is to run the other direction, he's faithfull to equip me with what I need to move forward (the right direction).
Of course the Lord loves to give us opportunity to practice these spiritual truths. Last week our family arrived at church late and rushed to park our car rather tightly. In my haste, I pushed too hard on our car door, leaving a mark on the car parked next to us. I'm ashamed to admit the first thoughts running through my mind: 'they'll never notice' (or at least not until they've parked in a few other parking lots) and 'It's my husbands fault for parking so close' (Is it possible to make a mistake without desiring to throw the blame on someone else?).
Luckily I had time to pray over my reactions, as the owners of this now marked car were already inside. At the Church service, I confessed to God how much I wanted to cower and run the other direction. I prayed for the obedience and courage to do what is right despite what my emotions were telling me to do.
God was faithful to wash away my thoughts of hiding and deceit. I first gained the courage to whisper to my husband what happened. Then upon leaving, I wrote a note for the owner of the Lexus SUV (nicest car in the parking lot), with my sincere apology, my full name and phone number and an offer to pay for the repair. More importantly I left with peace, knowing that I had obeyed God's way of handling this situation.
The owner of the vehicle proved to be a forgiving man who called me the next day and extended grace over the situation and thankfulness for the note. Even falling flat on our face, Jesus can redeem. I am eternally blessed by the grace extended to me by the vehicle owner. He was a reminder of how Jesus took on the scars we leave in our haste and imperfection.
When we begin choosing to 'obey' over listening to our fears we begin a momentum. Imagine what your life would look like with the habit of obedience. Then stop imagining and do it! Take one step today that would bring you closer to God's plan for your life.
Can I pray with you?
Dear Lord,
Thank you for nudging me out of my comfort zone and challenging me to utilize my faith. Give me a clear vision of that one thing I can do today, and help me to obediently do it. My imagination wants to envision all of the worse case scenario's. But I know the best case scenario's are always in following your will. I am weak, so I will need your strength. When I start to loose heart, remind me as you said in Isiah 41;10, Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Amen.
