He looked at me and said You’ve changed.
I giggled and turned my face slightly to conceal my smile.
This wasn’t one of those you’ve changed statements that come with negative complains about a change in behavior.
No this was different. I had become vulnerable

To hear him say the things he said broke down my walls and took hold of every thing I was holding back.

This change was a reflection of my deep moments with a special someone.
He had been wanting to show me so many things. But I was so far away and unreachable. Hiding in fear and uncertainty. I don’t know how he did it but He found me. He pursued me and pulled me closer. Away from fear, away from anxiety and uncertainty.

Right there, right there in our moment, He began to unravel bits about me. This was the closest I have ever felt around Him. To hear him say the things he said broke down my walls and took hold of every thing I was holding back. I didn’t know I had Him that close all along. His words brought me to tears.

I hesitated when he said it was my time to speak, I don’t know how to share I thought to myself, I had become so good at keeping my thoughts to my self that I forgot who was asking. He was right there waiting, He knew what I had to say but He wanted me to say it. I began letting it out, it was all garbage, untrue things about myself that I had held on to. He replaced every untrue word with truths. As He uttered each word, my walls began to crack, the bricks were falling apart, my boundaries were disappearing. This was new to me but it felt good.

Opening up to him was beautiful. I was more of myself than I had ever been. There was no more hiding, no more holding back, no more anxiety, or fear of uncertainty. We were knitted together. It began to reflect in the way I saw my self. I’ve realized after he showed me tiny bits of me, my confidence has tripled.
I’ve begun to see me for me
Not the lies I used to believe in but the gospel truth of who I am. I have been rebranded

This piece is a little extract from my experience with the Father. There is so much about you he is willing to expose to you. You need to let him in. Trust him he is a good father. Be vulnerable with him, He is tender and loving.
