I Am Done With... Holding Back

I'm tired of holding back...

...An answer in Bible study when I feel my spirit burning within me.

...A truth about God that I know is true, but may hurt someone's theological box.

...Of not stepping up as a responsible leader when it's more comfortable to follow and be cynical.

...Passion in worship, because it's weird to be that outlandish in one's praise.

...Honesty in fellowship, because I'm scared of being who God created me to be and not being accepted.

I am done with holding back.

didn't mean to be harsh. not sure that all of this tension is from God. just trying to be transparent here.

Not harsh at all. This just really resonates. As I read it, the Lord brought to mind a bunch of the ways I held back this week.

That's why the 'ouch'. I'm sorry I suggested anything other than a heart tender from God working.

That holding back is worship part is the one I struggle with most...
