Naked and Bare

What would it look like, sitting there naked with your wounds open for the world to see?
What if they knew?
What if they saw that some wounds were still bleeding; that some haven't healed?
What if they saw just how many scars you have?
What if you had the strength to sit there alone with yourself;
To look at your own scars?
We're not just hiding from the world, we're hiding from ourselves.
We have no idea how scared we really are, how much we're hiding.
We can't find the strength to look and see how many wounds we have ourselves; to be real and honest and have the strength to turn on the lights.
We're terrified of what we'll see.
If we ever find the strength to be honest with ourselves; Honest in our failures and our accomplishments. Honest in who we are and who we've been.
We'll see that it is okay. That there is healing and there is grace and there is love and we are all the same.
Slowly, as we love ourselves more and understand our own self worth and the amazing people that He created us to be, we become less and less afraid of who sees us; of who sees us standing there naked and bare.
As others walk into our lives and see us in our own vulnerability, they are forced to find themselves within their own lives. They are given the strength to look at their own wounds and see their own scars and their own gaping holes that need mending.
As I find the strength to stand before you and reveal my scars, to tell you that I'm not perfect but in that I'm okay, I hope that you will find the strength to do the same.
When we quit putting on a front for the world to see; quit creating a show for others to match up to; we take away the facade that we have it together and we find the freedom to sit in our broken lives together, alive and honest, seeking to become the people we were created to be.
