I can be vulnerable before God because He would never hurt me. He would only help me.
"God is a safe place to be."
Psalm 62:8 (MSG)
God's heart is a haven of quiet rest from the rebukes, pointing fingers, and rejection found so often in this world. He will never belittle us, ridicule us, or think us odd. We are totally accepted by Him with all our thoughts and emotions.
He is a safe Person. We can dare to open up to Him and share our real feelings without fear of a rebuke or rejection of our feelings. He won't be mean but kind. He wants to build us up, not tear us down. He always leaves us feeling better, not worse. He words don't wound, they heal. He doesn't rebuke but affirms!
We have been so used to thinking all He wants to do is angrily point out what's wrong with us, but He is busy pointing out what is right with us! We wait for the "hammer" to fall, but instead grace falls like a waterfall, love pours down like rain, assurance washes over us like a river. Jesus won't preach law to us but will minister grace every time! With Him we are truly safe. His heart is the safest place in the world!
A Thought: His love makes me feel safe.
