BEING VUNERABLE

First off, the definition:


Main Entry: vul-ner-a-ble
Pronunciation: 'v&l-n(&-)r&-b&l, 'v&l-n&r-b&l
Function: adjective
Etymology: Late Latin vulnerabilis, from Latin vulnerare to wound, from vulner-, vulnus wound; probably akin to Latin vellere to pluck, Greek oulE wound
1 : capable of being physically or emotionally wounded
2 : open to attack or damage : ASSAILABLE
3 : liable to increased penalties but entitled to increased bonuses after winning a game in contract bridge


When two or more people meet together and grow in a relationship (friendship, boy-girl relationship, etc), we're basically looking at two or more different worlds colliding together. Each indivudal brings to the relationship a different set of perspectives, a different personality, a unique dimension.

And sometimes, the jigsaw pieces just don't match one another. There'll be jagged edges, people not seeing eye to eye in certain areas, people having different tresholds, etc.

That is where one must learn the meaning of the word.

To know that when different people get together to grow together, there's bound to be differences... and we all stand a good chance of getting wounded (preferably not physically).

Of course, we can (as how I'd used to) prevent ourselves from being wounded. We can close up ourselves and refuse the possiblity of forging deep relationships and close friendships. We can limit our interactions and always just plough the surface, and very much putting up a front in front of others... or simply just keep quiet. Or to some, it comes in the form of playing the fool.

Jesus showed me how He loved.

He showed me how to be vulnerable.

That an invulnerable God would choose to be vulnerable.

To be vulnerable before God... and to be vulnerable before man.

And that's... how we can grow in relationships.

And... if the people concerned mean the whole world to you, then vulerability becomes something intrinsic in you I guess.

How much do we understand when we're told that God loves us very much?

What do we make of Jesus' sacrifice on the cross?

Thought that the entry was especially apt, and spoke volumes to my heart.

I keep to myself a lot, and pretending to be passive when im really not is just..suffocating. its not on purpose, but its become like a habit.

opening up to people too.. is hard. and i'll just be so quiet when im really not like that by nature.

yeah but the article i saw yesterday got me thinking. and i don't think this pretendence of passiveness in so many areas of my life is what God wants me to be.

so yup:) God'll help me change.
