I found myself squatting on the corner of my bed shaking in fear with the covers pulled over my head. Had he just had a dream or was it a nightmare? I dreamed that I was standing in the middle of Times Square in New York City completely naked and everyone was laughing at me. They had discovered all my weaknesses. They had determined that I was not really a Person of Faith. Sometimes dreams reveal our fears and insecurities. Sometimes they serve to remind us of our weaknesses. Sometimes they show us how much more faith we really need before we can stand before God as people of faith.

To shake off years of feeling insecure, we have to shed our inhibitions and use our imagination to find our true inner feelings of faith. The time to do this is now. Stop worrying about revealing your weaknesses to your friends and family. Stop worrying about how you look to strangers. Stop worrying about how the public will see you.

The only one you really have to worry about is God. God knows all your fears. He knows all your weaknesses. He feels your pain. Before God we are all naked. He knows what is in our hearts and souls.

Are you ready to be naked before God?

Are you ready to reveal your most intimate feelings to him?

You can tell God anything. You can expose your true feelings of faith to Him.

You can show God that you believe in Him and that you have faith.

You can let God know you have faith in him even though you can only imagine his grace and glory.

Hurry, God may be waiting to hear from you.
