How often are you seeking God’s truth in your feelings, in the information you receive? Do you pay attention to your feelings when they warn you? Or are you numbing out and absorbing them, allowing them to stick? Are you allowing yourself to live up to the standard of the people around you, comparing yourself, doing what you “should” do by other people’s standards? Does culture have a hold on you? Or are you boldly living your life as the person you were created to be?
Intimacy is at stake here and not an intimacy in human form. An intimacy so much more freeing and pure- like Adam and Eve, naked and feeling no shame in the garden. With a strong sense of who they are and a close communion with God. As we continue to chip away pieces of our false self, we are becoming more and more aware of ourselves as God’s creation and less of ourselves as our own creation. As we continue to chip away pieces, we will be tempted to find a new way, a new comparison. As we continue to chip away pieces, we will find, in our vulnerability the desire to take control.
And it’s a constant battle for truth.
