What is the deepest part of you?
When I was asked this, I automatically thought about sin. My deepest, darkest sins … right?
Last night, our squad was invited to join D-squad, who is doing their debrief in Antigua, for a worship night at a nearby park.
The worship was incredible. The community is beautiful. Hugs were happening everywhere.
A guy got up and shared what was on his heart. He asked us, “what is the deepest part of you?”
This is a hard question. But the answer is “mistakes in our past”, isn’t it?
A sign of real friendship or closeness to someone is when you feel comfortable enough to share your sin, your past, and your flaws with that person.
… but what if you were able to let go of that sin, living in the freedom we have as followers of the Creator, and not even let it be a part of you any longer.
No, I don’t think that we should ever forget our past, because it shapes who you are, but what if our answer was different? What if the deepest part of me was my love for people, my passions, my relationship with Jesus?
What would that look like?
In my life, I think that would change my daily interactions with almost everyone.
The deepest thing doesn’t have to be the darkest, it doesn’t have to be a secret. I want the deepest part of me to be my love for my Father. I want it to be how much I desire to serve Him.
This blog is just thoughts. It isn’t well thought out, or planned. But the question really made me think a lot. My hope is that by sharing it, it will cause one person to no longer be attached to their past, but live in the incredible freedom we are able to have because of the REAL deepest part of us … our creator.
XO, love and hugs to all!
P.S. I am giving up all connection with America for the month of November (phone, social media, blogging, email, etc.) so if you are dying to tell me something, please do so in the next couple of days!
