Scripture: Luke 7:1-10, Mark 6:6, Hebrews 11:16, Romans 1:7b, Hebrews 11:1, So much of the time we do whatever we can to avoid danger. We hedge our lives in with protective measures that keep us from feeling vulnerable and unsafe. But vulnerability is exactly what is required if we are going to feel anything. Vulnerability comes from the Latin word that described a break or gap in someone’s armor, leaving them at risk to being hurt. So many of us have built armor around our lives in order to be safe and now we find ourselves isolated and alone. This mindset of safety at all costs actually robs us from the rich and satisfying life found in Jesus.
