To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.

What awaits me today:

A brutal winter storm
An extra long bus ride to work
An assortment of to-do lists
An inspector
An extra long bus ride home

Jesus. I need you. You await me today too.

You’re afraid that there’s nothing cool inside of you, nothing unique about you that anyone would want, or like, or treasure; and there is. The truth is: you have stuff inside of you hand-tailored by God for you to bring to the table that no one else brings. You’re the only one whose got it, and we desperately need it in the Kingdom. And if you’d bring it, if you’d work with the Lord and work with a mentor to develop those things and grow those things, people would start to get a sense of what an amazing person you really are, and so would you, and you wouldn’t have to play these games anymore. You’d find that people love having you around because there’s something unique and amazing and special about you that they value and they treasure, and the thing is, you can’t do both at once. You can’t develop the real you, and begin to celebrate the real you, and begin to share the real you while you’re playing the victim card at the same time. You can’t do both. You’ve gotta pick one. I have to tell you, the bad news is the victim card has failed. It’s not working. And everywhere you go, people are going to resent you the rest of your life if you keep doing that, but the good news is you can stop playing that right now. There are people in your life that want to help you move forward and that want to help you move into a place where you are treasured and valued and welcomed.

This is already happening and it’s only January!

God take me. I’m yours.

We’re doing things Your way. My ways suck because they are empty of You.

No excuses, just a heart that chases violently after You.

You’re my prize.

Game on.
