How many times have you shared intimate details about yourself only to be left feeling betrayed? When you open up to others, you are leaving yourself open to all of the things that come with that vulnerability. To be naked is to be completely uncovered; leaving nothing hidden. Please understand that I think that it is extremely important that you allow yourself to be transparent and vulnerable when you are in a committed relationship. However, the problem is when you offer too much to people who have no real responsibility to keep it safe. Everyone that you meet or share a conversation over dinner with doesn't need to know the inner workings of your heart. And you wonder why it is that you are continually finding yourself hurt and abused. It's because you are leaving your blindside exposed to the wrong people.
The Bible is clear that you are to guard your heart with all diligence for out of it are the issues of life. Queens, it is imperative that when it comes to dating that you allow God to slowly reveal your heart to the right man. Many people don't understand that emotional intimacy can be just as gripping as physical intimacy. When you share your most intimate dreams, failures, aspirations, and desires you create an emotional connection that is often not easily dissolved. When you share those intimate details with the wrong people, instead of them trying to understand them in a way that will allow them to love you more effectively, they will use them as a tool to manipulate you. It's important in dating and in creating any kind of relationship that you seek Godly wisdom on how much of yourself you need to reveal to others. Your prayer should be that God will reveal your heart to the man who has been designed to handle its delicate contents. Stop offering yourself up for a pauper's pay when you're worth a King's ransom!
