Unashamed

So amazed by the love of the Father. I want to be clear...see through... unhidden.

For years I tried to be whitewashed, cleaned up on the outside, but inside was still dark...afraid...hidden...ashamed.

Im in an intense season of heart change, but it is so good. It is giving me a boldness to be clear and transparent. It is free, unafraid, unashamed. God loves me even in my immaturity and imperfections. He enjoys me. He wants me uncovered...

Whitewash looks white from the outside but it is opaque...it keeps the light from really penetrating.

The light of God is clean, bright, pure...it comes from the inside out, not the outside in. I'm getting a vision to shine...as a human...for real...held to God by His standard...by His vision of what He wants...His evaluation.

He is a really good dad....He really likes me. He likes me clear... unashamed. Satan hates clear...he tries to cover things up...hide the truth. He's fine to let it look proper...religious...polite...but uncovered, clear, true...ugh, Satan simply is terrified of the truth, because it uncovers all the little strings that together keep us bound and locked into who we are.

Ephesians 5:10finding out what is acceptable to the Lord.

11And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.

12For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret.

13But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light.

14Therefore He says:

“Awake, you who sleep,

Arise from the dead,

And Christ will give you light.”

15See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise,

16redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

We were made to be transparent:

Genesis 2:25And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

Genesis 3:7Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings.

8And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden.

9Then the LORD God called to Adam and said to him, “Where are you?”

10So he said, “I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself.”

11And He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you that you should not eat?”

Matthew 23:24“Blind guides, who strain out a gnat and swallow a camel!

25“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you cleanse the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of extortion and self-indulgence.

26“Blind Pharisee, first cleanse the inside of the cup and dish, that the outside of them may be clean also.

27“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness.

28“Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.

29“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you build the tombs of the prophets and adorn the monuments of the righteous,

30“and say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.’

31“Therefore you are witnesses against yourselves that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets.

32“Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers’ guilt.

I come as I am, but I am committed to go forward different...clear...unashamed. entered in.
