Transparency Leads To Your Shift

There are many times in life where we want to hide or not share things we experience. Most times this is due to not wanting to be judged. I mean we never know how the answers to questions will appear. I have received information to numerous resources simply by opening my mouth. And I have learned sharing could be beneficial for me and also help others. Galatians 6:2 states, “Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” We are told to love our neighbors as we love ourselves. Of course, this is totally difficult with the world we live in today.

The difference of opinions with the daily afflictions of life. Politics, pandemic, and racial tensions. It seems the world no longer believes in “It is okay to disagree!” We are all not going to agree on everything. This would be according to how we were raised, things we have experienced, and even our own stances on religious beliefs.

I however have decided to allow the Holy Spirit to guide and direct me. There is no longer a reason to be ashamed or be afraid to say, “I need help.” Because the reality is that I don’t always have all the answers. Another way to look at it is, I could be being led to that person for a reason. We simply cannot keep living in our own bubbles because eventually they burst. I remember a poem I wrote after an encounter with a man on the bus. To be honest, he was really strange. The title was called Searching. It was basically talking about how we encounter people every day. And whether the interaction is negative or positive, we must make our own choice. And then apply it to our lives for that day.  We control our own narratives.

Are you willing to be transparent in your daily interactions?
