"...only love can do that."
I saw a video today on vulnerability.
I learned that at the core of vulnerability is shame and fear.
I realized that the need to control situations is a way to shun away fromshame and fear.
I found that the walls we often put up, those walls that disable us to fully express ourselves has something to do with the love we feel we deserve or the love we feel we can accept.

How worthy do you feel of loving and being loved?
And how easy it is to neglect and hate.
Vulnerability does not only pertain to falling in love. This pertains to our connection with others.
So many years of "civilization" and the evolution of technology and science, and the human race still struggles more than ever to L.O.V.E. each other- to live in community.
But again, how can we love others when we don't love and accept ourselves? How worthy do we feel?
And thus, how confident are we to do the uncertain, live out our dreams, love hard and then, feel at peace with the prospect of being grateful despite the outcome?
"The art of losing isn't hard to master" for we lose everyday but, perhaps if we live instead of simply exist, vulnerability might not seem so scary, but more so an exciting and hopeful adventure!
We have been redeemed despite ourselves. We are worthy of such love- personal, universal and most of all, unconditional love.

They were:

humble.
Godly men.
They were LOVERS who were not afraid of being VULNERABLE.
They were WHOLE-HEARTED.
