Safety?

Its scary to be vulnerable in revealing your heart - even to someone we trust.

Most people (religious organizations especially) will trade dealing with heart issues for the comfort of being theologically right.  Human nature seeks to be right in belief and in appearance.  Human nature is simply content to have a theological basis in which to make right decisions without needing or depending on someone bigger.

When I'm selfish I seek to be right.

Love wants to walk in the light (transparency with regard to motives) and obedience.

When we walk in the light we become dependent on the Giver of Light instead of our own human reasoning, belief systems and other false forms of security and comfort.

We can end up in a place where we feel safe because we have 4 walls around us - which is called a prison. 



Or we can begin to walk towards the light and let God bring things to the surface.
