I Am Not Afraid To Say I Need You
So
many times in life we feel we have the right answers. Even in our insecurities,
we can become extremely defensive in order to prove our own point, give our
excuse or explain our philosophy to avoid misunderstanding from others.
There are levels to realizing how much of a queen you are. It’s time that we recognize we aren't always right. Your life philosophies can be wrong. That's why they have not worked...maybe I’m just talking about myself. Just in case you need to know, excuses will keep you stagnant and not open to change.
This is not to say that we should be so open that we accept anything and every opinion offered. Because in today’s society EVERYone has an opinion.
However, we must be able to be completely honest with ourselves. When we stop holding so firmly onto our ideas, we are more free to hear what God has to say about the matter. It's okay to be vulnerable and open up to God. This is where major change is born. Set the excuses and pride aside. Let God assist you.
For a long time, I knew with my choice to follow a career in the film production industry meant I needed to make some changes and be more outspoken. I knew that I would have to show more of my personality a lot quicker to others. But until I was able to really open my eyes to the reality of me, I was getting nowhere. I knew what I needed to do. But until I was able to open myself up to receive advice and help from others, I was stuck in the same place. Once I opened myself up to a relationship with God, He was able to show me things about myself that no one else could get me to realize the way that He did. Once I accepted that I needed help, I got what I was looking for. I was stubborn for so long and could have saved myself some time if I just would have opened up sooner.
Many times, God will put others in our life to help us in the physical as well as spiritual. We must know who is here to help us and who is here to distract us. It's important to discern the difference. But even when someone has all the right motives in the world, you have to know where you need help, and how to receive it. If someone is flailing around in a pool about to drown, when you reach out your hand to help, they will never get the assistance they need if they don't first stop panicking enough to reach for help. In this same way, God is always there to help, as He has called you, but it's up to you to take that step and say "I need You". At this point in my life, I’d like to start out every day calling to my Father like that. We live in a world that is all about posturing up and looking like an expert at everything. But, I dare you this time to say, I need some help. That will be the beginning to the connection of support you have with your Heavenly Father and the connections He will lead you to make in the world. So go ahead, be vulnerable...
