As I enter into deeper and fuller communion with the Lord I have found a new passion for being “naked”
I know I know sounds crazy and explicit. But not in that way. A nakedness and shamelessness experienced first in the garden of eden. A perfect and unimaginable unity with the father. Where Adam and Eve were completely known and completely loved. There was no reason to cover, and hide, they were walking in full light, exactly how we are designed to be.
It’s so easy to hide our true identity. We act like we have it all together, and hide our messy lives by a beautiful instagram. We tremble in fear of being fully known. Our reality is full of the fear that we will be exposed, or don’t measure up, or we’re not enough. When in reality if we expose these LIES we are set free. We are meant to walk in lightness, truth, and share the hardships we go through. ( we never walk a messy road alone)
As I explore this category of purity, joy is followed directly behind. As we shed off the layers of false self we can more easily see the person we were uniquely designed to be. As we take off the masks we’ve been hiding behind we find true JOY.
As I discover who I am and who He says I am, I feel the weight of the world removed. I feel all expectations disintegrate. I see a playful spirit come out. And I can’t help, but dance and sing with our Father. The Lord has brought me into a season of DANCING as I find completeness in Him. This joy is within us all.
We crave to be known and love. We crave to be real and deep and talk about our not so perfect life. I pray we can all be more open, vulnerable, raw, and yes, even NAKED
“[…] isn’t that what this life is really about?
Becoming
Undressing
Letting go of all you thought you knew
In order to discover the true
The real
The beautiful
Waiting underneath.” -Jim branch
