Shame vs Love

I've titled this blog shame vs love because I was thinking about how I struggle with sharing my brokenness and sin with others. God says in His Word, "There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear...". When I am more willing to open up to someone and share my sin with them is when I feel loved. If I don't feel loved or fear being shunned or shamed by someone, then I will be less likely to be honest about my sins. When I fear I am less likely to open up to God, to myself or to someone else.

Missing You God

God, I've been missing You. Missing what we used to have together. A life of conversation, relationship, honesty and hope. One that I've not been a part of lately. I know that You've not left me, and honestly I've not left You either, but I have been ignoring You. I've not been giving You the attention that You desire. I've allowed myself to be preoccupied with life and silly phone games. I've chosen them over You on a daily basis. How do I choose You again God when I've become consumed with these mindless games that help me to unwind after work or even before work? Help me Abba to come back to You. To come back to Our relationship. Our life together. I need Your help because I cannot do this on my own.
