Ouch

This was just a thought today.

So many times I want to not open up and allow people in because of fear. A fear that they won't like me, a fear that they will hurt me or a fear that something will go drastically wrong. However, it has become easier for me to do this being dependant on God to bring people to me, rather than doing it n my own. But, still I tend to grow weary and today as I said a temporary good-bye to a sister and friend my heart said ouch and it dawned on me that I had been touched profoundly by this person and that part of being touched is allowing the ouch of intimacy that comes and goes but doesn't run and hide.
