Can I be naked and not ashamed with you, my love?

Sometimes it’s hard to say, “I need help” when you’re the one people always count on. So I dedicate this to those that need the ministry of their spouses and yet sometimes don’t have the words to express it.

Can I be naked and not ashamed with you, my love?

Can I trust you with me? Can I be honest with who I am or will you make me pretend?

Can I tell you I’m afraid? Is it ok if I cry with you when my heart is broken or must I continue to wear my super human mask with you? I have to tell you, my mask is often to heavy to bear.

Is it ok that I share that sometimes my faith is weak? Will you seek God for me when I can’t pray for myself?

There is so much I see and experience and there are so many pressures, that I often can’t seem to find the right words to express the depths of what I’m feeling. Can you see beyond the silence and frustration I sometimes exhibit, my love?

So many view me as strong, a person of unrelenting stamina, and impenetrable faith. But you see me babe. Right? Can you see sometimes I’m overwhelmed? Do you see I need encouragement too?

Will you wrap me in your arms and comfort me? Will you rub my shoulders and tell me it’s going to be ok? I need your arms of love so badly. Even when I can’t find the right words to express it, I need you my love.

I need a place to rest - a shoulder to lay my head on at the end of the day. I need to know that aside from the God, I’m blessed to have you to lean on as well.

Yes, I have a call on my life. Yes, people know my name but at the end of the day, I am still a human being with hopes and fears, and a deep fundamental needs for safety, trust and love. I need to know that who I am (the real me) is accepted, loved and supported - just as I am.

I need to know that after I’ve poured out to others, there is a place of refreshing for me with you - the one I love.

And so I ask you….

Can I be naked and not ashamed with you, my love?
