About This Quote
One of the things that makes Jesus so special is that He was able to be completely open and vulnerable with us. Jesus came emotional and raw, scandalously gracious. I want to be like Him. The fact that Jesus was completely open and vulnerable with us means we can be open and vulnerable with Him.
When we’re able to speak openly and honestly about our problems, we develop a trust relationship with God. As we’ve learned from Jesus, we can be like Him because He showed us how.
