Chapter 6 | Christ is Sufficient
This is from a series of blog posts I wrote back in 2020 to share the background for what was to come. It will help you understand the context of the rest of the stories if you read this introductory series.
When I was wrestling with God over this issue of confession, I had come to the hard-won realization that He was sufficient for me.
He had rescued me, pulled me out of the quicksand and put me on solid ground, and now He was beckoning me to speak the truth about who I had been.
To speak the truth in love. To trust him with my story and fully align my life in His Love.
I couldn't imagine a world that I would want to live in where the truth was known about my shame. But He wouldn't let me go.
"The truth will set you free," He said.
"I'm speaking the truth now. Isn't that enough?" I countered.
"Everything you need is on the other side of what you're most afraid of" He assured me.
"Take this cup from me" I agonized, my face buried in the rug as I lay in the middle of the living room at 3 am one morning. I couldn't bear the thought of being exposed, of facing my family.
"What if I lose them, God? What if she leaves and the kids hate me?"
"If you lose everything, you still have me. I'm enough for you. I will sustain you through anything" He replied.
Early one morning I accepted him at His word and pledged to Him "Ok God, I can't see the path, but when I do, I'll walk down it. I trust you. Show me the way."
Then I went to bed and slept like a baby.
