Why Am I Afraid to Tell You Who I Am?


 

Written by Ronald A. Turner

I remember reading a book of this title by author John Powell who has written several books on relationships and communication. This is a very personal question we must ask.

“Why am I afraid to tell you who I am?” Powell gives this answer in his book, “I’m afraid to tell you who I am because you may not like whom I am and that’s all I’ve got.” He’s right. “I yam what I yam,” as Popeye used to say.

We really need to overcome our fears to communicate honestly and openly with others. Open communication is not telling someone everything. That would be disastrous as well as unwise. We just need to learn to be comfortable with the idea of talking to other people. Jesus wants us to tell others who we are and whose we are. If we met Christ, He would tell us of His life and show us His scarred hands. He would hide nothing from us.

Remember, people do not bite. We are too defensive sometimes, and we go around setting up walls in our relationships instead of building bridges. If Christ were here, He’d have lots of love to give to everyone. He would say, “I do NOT love your sins, but I love you. I’m willing to die for any of you.”

The great news I have to give you is that Jesus is here, in our homes, schools, workplace, and churches. He did die for you, and He lives in you if you are a Christian and strive to walk for him in the light of His truth, the Holy Word of God. Talk to someone this week about Who you belong to, the one who bought you with a great price, His life.
