Can i be vulnerable with God?
I know you have your strong points and we are all reluctant to talk about the weak points because those whom we trusted with the message ...., the question is what about God?

Matthew 5:3(NLT)- God blesses those who are poor and realise their need for him, for the kingdom of heaven is theirs.
I realise when we speak of vulnerability, weakness, coming up short, not measuring up to certain standards makes all of us feel uncomfortable. It either causes you to withdraw, defend yourself or take the offensive stance.
In many cultures and places the weak are not looked favourably upon.
However God does the opposite, He blesses the weak and extends Himself to them. He says His strength is made perfect in our weakness. It's difficult to see this when you also beat yourself up for your weakness.
I want you to know God loves you more than you could ever love yourself, He made you,so, He already knows your weakness.
Telling Him about it, is like drawing Him to the hidden parts of your life that no one sees. I know people have failed to relate well with you when it comes to these issues, so you've built walls, your trust for anything is cramples.
I say, give Him a chance, trust Him, He doesn't need you to be perfect or have it all together or to be righteous. He just wants you.
Including the you that puts on many masks to fit in plus the you that comes out when nobody is looking. Yes all of you.
He says he has an inheritance for you. To be the heir in His kingdom, He wants to entrust you with a mission, a domain, to be a partaker of His kingdom.
To be an heir to a kingdom is to have legal rights of ownership. You wouldn't give your house to a stranger to own unless the person is related to you by blood, to put it bluntly, unless the person is your child.
God is your Heavenly Father, He is different from your earthly parents and views you differently from them, He wants to shower you with love and meet your needs. He wants be your strength and heal the pain.
For those who are parents you'll understand this point but if you're not imagine your own child comes to you and tells you there is a big box he or she can't carry but needs your help, I don't think you'll push them away and tell him to read some self-help books on how to be strong. Ubsolutely not!
You'll go and help. I want you to know your Heavenly Father is the King in heaven and on earth and He sits on the throne, He says He has got your back, you have all of heavens armies ready to fight for you, heavens store house to provide for you, He is the Living Water ready to refresh you and heal you.
No need to be I'm control. When you find yourself weak, broken or thinking you're a failure, remember, your Father is God Almighty and you declare:
I am made in His image, I have His DNA, I am part of His bloodline therefore I am mighty, strong, courageous, smart, intelligent, beautiful, industrious, handsome, kind, patient, peaceful and every good thing in Jesus Name Amen.
A quick assignment: Write good "I AM" seeds for yourself and proclaim it each day and partner with God, He never fails. If any negative words spring up replace it with positive words and win.
