There are many facets of ourselves that we come to know on our walk of life.  Some aspects we have with us from the beginning, others we take on as we go through life.  Some aspects we acquire by choice, others we take on because we sense it is what is considered normal or expected.  We can get caught up in demonstrating those aspects of ourselves which fit neatly into the tapestry of our lives and they become dominant and shape our personality.  The real question is, are those the aspects of our heart we want to live through?  Or are they the aspects we know will get us the approval we need to feel like we belong?  It is not wrong to want to belong, it is in our inherent nature of survival.  But if we are refraining from allowing aspects of ourselves driven from our hearts to be seen, who is it that is belonging?  Over and over again on my daily dates with God, I hear God asking me to keep my eyes on him.  When I am inclined to not share an aspect of my heart because I fear it will be rejected or there is no place for it, God reminds me she wants nothing more than the aspects of myself which are cultivated in my heart to be shared whether or not they are accepted by others.  God accepts them.  Those who are open to the heart aspects of themselves will see its genuine expression of the heart.  It can be risky but it is part of this game called life to allow the aspects of our hearts to be seen and shared with ourselves and others so God can be known.
