Glass Walls

Tonight I was thinking about the song, "Healing Begins" by Tenth Avenue North. Some of the lyrics go like this: 

So you thought you had to keep this up
All the work that you do
So we think that you're good
And you can't believe it's not enough
All the walls you built up
Are just glass on the outside

Afraid to let your secrets out
Everything that you hide
Can come crashing through the door now
But too scared to face all your fear
So you hide but you find
That the shame won't disappear

So let it fall down
There's freedom waiting in the sound
When you let your walls fall to the ground
We're here now
We're here now

Oh This is where the healing begins
This is where the healing starts
When you come to where you're broken within
The light meets the dark
The light meets the dark


I don't know about you, but when I get sad or scared for long lengths of time or just depressed I tend to push out everyone around me. I guess in order to try and cope with how I'm feeling. When the truth is I need people. I need Christian sisters and brothers around me to speak truth into my life and not only when I want to hear it. I've bought the lie that sleep and staying in bed will somehow fix it and make it all better. But, instead I'm miserable. Believer, we weren't meant to live our Christian life alone. We need each other. I'm ready to let the walls fall 'cause they are just glass on the outside anyway. Are you?
