There are moments when we long to spill our hearts out to those who are closest to us, to let them in on the secrets that we keep hidden behind our smiles. But then, we hesitate, knowing that there are pieces of ourselves that we keep locked away, hidden in the depths of our hearts. We guard these pieces fiercely, for they contain the pain, anger, traumas, heartache, sadness, and brokenness that we cannot bear to reveal to anyone else. Why is it like this? Perhaps it's because we've learned to rely on ourselves for survival, to pick ourselves up when we fall and to fight our battles alone. Perhaps we think it's better to overcome our pain in silence, rather than let someone else into our lives' dark and tumultuous areas.

SOAP METHOD S - Scripture O - Even kings and leaders are instructed to serve the Lord with fear and trembling. This means that God is the highest power in the world, and fearing Him is a sign of acknowledging His power and what He can do in our lives. (Psalms Chapter 2) A - I will remember to serve God because of who He is and what He has done for me. I have many reasons to fear the Lord and acknowledge His power in my life. P - Dear Lord, thank You for reminding me how to serve You with fear and trembling. I confess that sometimes I work for our ministries out of my own willingness and forget to acknowledge You. Please help me to always humble myself before You and fear You more than anything else. Thank You for Your love and mercy. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
