What if we live up to this thought?

Consider the great truth that God/Creator needs you to be your most vibrant, strong and creative self.

an interesting TED talk

 I believe as Christians we should not be frightened of being vulnerable.  Or at least be willing to share our vulnerabilities even if we are scared.  When we open up our hearts and share it frees others to do the same.  So often we are hiding something that if we were to share it, it would cause us to feel shame.  More often than not though someone else has had the same experience.  We are denying ourselves a strong and valued connection by not sharing.
As a Christian how do we deal with shame?   I don't have all the answers.  I do believe that sharing our inadequacies with the right person can be a freeing experience.  I would rather be vulnerable and open to new connections that closed and missing out on a connected life.
