You know that eagerness you feel when you want to improve in one area in particular but the process to get there is a struggle? I can relate.
One of many areas I face challenges is loving with an open heart. With intent, prayer and diligence I stride putting love without caution in action. Don't worry, I have accountability. My relationship is where I can see my flaws clearly. Being in a relationship with someone for a long period of time has its way of exposing insecurities, doubts and fears. Over time, these tactics tend to surface and it gets harder and more complex to conceal. Its characteristics like these that are never meant to be kept a secret.
In order to improve in any area that we feel shame, resentment or fearful require finding the courage within to verbalize deep rooted issues. Yes, it will be uncomfortable and it will strip you to your most vulnerable state but the reward is priceless. For years, I struggled with communication because I believed anything I had to say would be disregarded or irrelevant. It wasn't until I vocalized my fears when I was able to find healing. It didn't happen overnight, it was a process, it is all about progression. With much dedication and effort I am now able to discuss topics that were once difficult for me to speak on. The truth is, healing is available to you. You have everything you need within to overcome your challenges. Exodus 15:2 "The Lord is my strength and my song; he has given me victory."
I am truly grateful to be in a relationship that challenges me mentally, spiritually and emotionally. My partner challenges me with his actions. Through his kindness and consistency I am challenged to be the best version of me. Ultimately this takes me back to my father in heaven, I can't thank Him enough for blessing me with someone who challenges and inspires me to live a life of faith.
