As We Press

Does it seem hard to find friends you can open up and be real with? Why do we work so hard covering up our weaknesses, failures, mistakes and struggles; pretending they don’t exist? Why are we content keeping up appearances when inside we feel so far from living at that address? We need each other! We desperately need the deeply unifying bond that belonging to Jesus brings. In fact, He counsels us to transparent living (James 5:15 ESV). So, let’s stop pretending, let’s stop believing the lie that godliness is tied to our appearingly “in-order” lives. Let’s believe that the Lord will enter into our brokenness as we humbly share real life. (Psalm 138:6)
