thoughts
I cautiously expose my warts to you, unsure of how you will react. I have chosen to expose my defects because you seem safe to me. You notice my warts and maybe even comment on them. But you don’t ridicule me for them. I can feel your acceptance and will share even more of myself with you. As you notice that i am safe, you will reveal your warts to me. We mutually accept one another and experience healing. Isn’t it great to have such thoughts to your close friends/family members or even your love ones.
To truly open ourselves to love(families,friends,love ones), we must first believe that we are acceptable, warts and all. If, somewhere in our core, we are convinced that we are unacceptable, we will put barriers so people can’t see us and love us.We will compare ourselves with others and come out on the bottom.We will think others are being critical even if they are not. But if we can somehow dare to believe we are acceptable simply because we are children of God, we can finally risk letting others love us.
