The Gift of Nakedness & Knowing .
We oftentimes, have grown to believe that filters and angles makes things look better or even more socially pleasing , but in actuality it make it all feel closer. See, it makes that insecurity that you've been struggling with since a kid , resurface and the sting of rejection feel more closer . When the person you wanted the most to " hit like " does not and you begin to internal it and assume , " I'm not liked." I know these scenarios .. oh so well. As , I personally and even still have to detach from social media because its more than just algorithm … it a soul tied for so many.
2. This realization and revelation became ever the more the moment , God stripped me.
What does that even mean ? It means in a society like ours that he dealt with all the low case " gods" and idols , one being ( social media , family members , beauty and even wanting to be monetized .
3. So , I wonder … What is really keeping you, holding you back from truly being alive?
( naked and afraid ) verses (Pre- sin) in the garden .
When Adam and Eve were naked but unaware to the essence of shame and guilt of their very sin ( disobedience ) that also led them to be distant from the very one that made and would clothe them .
** Scripture to mediate on **
Genesis 1 ( History of Creation )
Genesis 2 : Life in the Garden .
Genesis 3 ( The Temptation and Fall of Man)
4. Today, I encourage you to really go before your Father and allow him to be intimate with you and show you the areas in your life , garden, events that have caused you to sin . An allow him to tell with it , repent and allow Holy Spirit to really tell with it . An for many that means you first get right with HIM , that you lay down your pride and come back in STOP WOUNDERING IN THE DARK . TODAY IS THE DAY OF SALVATION.
