240819 Vulnerability

 Vulnerability 

We all have vulnerability

Weakness we don't let others see

So we pretend we're Superman

Hide all shortcomings,  if we can

We all face our own kryptonite 

The weakness that we try to fight

Thing we feel powerless to stop

Expecting other shoe to drop

We each possess Achilles heel

Some frailty that is quite real

A thing we do our best to hide

For, makes us feel weak inside 

We all have vulnerability 

That we keep under lock and key

Quite certain that if we confess

Then we'll be judged as something less

It's viewed as liability 

So don't acknowledge readily

Or else deny it altogether 

Hoping somehow it'll just get better

Too often thing we won't admit 

Or sometimes not aware of it

May blame it on heredity 

A thing that we will always be

But, is it wise to hide our flaws

For, it's exhausting after all

Yet, is there ever a safe place

Where our weaknesses we can face

Of course, our vulnerabilities 

Are things our Maker clearly sees

For he knows us inside and out 

Sees flaws and weaknesses, no doubt

Surrender and be vulnerable

Feels like we're giving up control

For, that's precisely what it is

Since all control is truly His

Yes, Father, Abba is the best

At using us despite weakness

And being vulnerable's a must

When in relationship of trust

There's peace in giving up control

To One who truly has that role

Surrender your vulnerability 

Embrace the joy of being free
