Limited

Do you ever feel limited? Like you can't fully show who you are, how you feel, your hearts desires, everything. It's like you're tied to a rope and it can only go so far. Then the rope keeps pulling you back farther, but you find that you're holding the end of the rope; the one who is pulling the rope back. That's what I find myself doing anyway. Once I feel limited or constrained, I pull back on that rope and sometimes put up walls.
It's a habit I want to break, but don't know how. It's a feeling I don't want to exist, but it keeps bringing me down.
I do know one thing, and that is I don't have to feel that with my Savior. Because in my relationship with Him, there are no ropes. There is no constraint. Only complete, 100% revelation of who I am.
I love the song 'Sweep Me Away' by Kari Jobe. The chorus says this: "Sweep me away, sweep me away in Your love, where nothing else matters".
I want to be swept away in God's arms, and cradled in His pure love and acceptance of everything that I am.
