God is whole.  We are returned to the truth of who we are when we embrace the God of our hearts. Our authenticity lies in our willingness to be frank with ourselves about our own truth.  It is not so much about declaring it to the world but claiming it for ourselves.  I spent the first part of my life hiding behind the expectations of others.  Here and there I would let my true self slip out but always guarded.  I thought this would bring me the sense of safety I longed for.  And it did, until it didn’t. The day I woke up and realized that the very thing that was saving me had turned into killing me was the day I could no longer lie to myself let alone others.  Coming to terms with the truth of who I am has been a long and winding road and one that will continue for my whole life.  My goal is to be frank enough with myself and with God so that each day I can hold my head high and keep it in alignment with my heart.  I am willing, one day at a time to discover the truth of my heart and live from there.

If God accepts us fully as whole and complete, how might you be wiling to be frank with yourself about the truth of who you are in your heart today?  Share in the comments.
