Why Vulnerability is Worth the Risk

There is a cost to this life. A cost to relationships. A cost to connection. A cost to being human. 

Vulnerability comes with risk. The risk of rejection. The risk of betrayal. The risk of disappointment.

There is a quote from one of Beth Moore’s studies that has always stuck with me. She was having a conversation with her daughter about God and her daughter said, “He knows it is hard to be us.” 

That has always stuck with me. God knows it is hard to be us. 

Jesus walked this earth as a man. He struggled. He was tempted. He knew pain. He knew what it was like to be betrayed by a close friend, to be denied by one of his best friends. He knew abuse. He knew what it was like to come from a blended family—to be raised by a man who was not his biological father. He knew what it was like to have family not believe in his calling and purpose. He knew exhaustion and pain. He knew heartbreak and loneliness. God knows it is hard to be us. 

And yet, despite the risk, we are called to relationship. We are called to lay down our lives and open our hearts to those God places in our path.
