Vulnerability

Vulnerability is often misunderstood, yet in God’s kingdom, it is a mark of strength and authenticity. When we open our hearts before Him, we create space for His healing power to flow. Hiding our pain or pretending to be strong only builds walls that keep grace at a distance. God invites us to bring our brokenness into the light where His love can restore and renew.

Jesus Himself modelled holy vulnerability. In Gethsemane, He prayed with honesty and anguish, showing us that true faith does not hide emotion but surrenders it to the Father. When we are transparent before God and others, we allow His strength to perfect our weakness. Vulnerability builds trust, deepens relationships, and reveals the beauty of grace at work.

Scripture reminds us, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is being perfected in weakness” (2 Corinthians 12:9 AMP). In vulnerability, strength is reborn.
