You Lie?!?!

Have you ever looked at someone and could sense their brokeness?  It could be a total stranger you pass by in the grocery store or a dear friend who is trying to hold back from sharing a personal struggle.  Why do we try to hide what is going on in our circumstances, minds, and hearts?  Do we not realize we are lying to the people who care most about us?  We are telling them that we don't trust them.  We a refusing to potentially learn from their experiences and gained wisdom.  In withdrawing from people and drawing into ourselves, we are telling God that the people He has placed in our lives are not good enough.  Can you imagine standing in a room, face to face, with God and screaming at Him, at the top of your lungs, "You are not sufficient! I know better than You!  You are a liar!"? Seriously?!  I'd rather not test the limits of God's grace and mercy!  I can only imagine the jolt that would go through my body as He zapped me down to size.  I know it sounds dramatic but we do this EVERY time we dive into our insecurities and roll around in it!  Whatever is going on in our lives, God is STILL in control and He is more than enough!  We have GOT to stop letting Satan have so much power in our lives.  He will exploit our weaknesses if we are unwilling to be made strong through the Power of Jesus Christ.  God wants to fill all the places that are empty... and He is big enough to keep handle the job.
