Vulnerability

"Are you unaware that we who were baptized into Christ Jesus was baptized into his death?"--Romans 6

Christ did not fear death. He made Himself totally vulnerable out of love.

Tonight I had dinner with a young man who made himself vulnerable when he shared about his conversion in college.

He realized Jesus loved him when he was in a study carrel cramming for an exam. He experienced total acceptance in the Lord's presence--and his eyes started to well up as he brought the memory to mind.

I just met this man tonight. He was not afraid to show his emotions regarding the love of his life. Thank you, God, for this man's vulnerability and great love for you. 

Please give me this same confidence in your mighty power to transform my wounded heart.
