1.4 Are You Willing?
Answer the questions in a paragraph:
How are you feeling about being willing to be transparent with God and with others? Does one of those seem easier than the other? Does it change your perspective if you think about it as being generous – open-hearted and open-handed?

I am willing to be transparent with God whole heartedly; however, I still choose to be transparent with few others that I do trust. I am not sure that it is a normal way to trust every person and so some reservations are allowed. This is the nature of God likeness as He created us in His image and He does not trust us immediately and entrust us with every gifts unless He trusts us fully.

Martha, you are so right. Learning to discern who you can trust is an important step in becoming transparent with others. It sounds like you have come a long way toward being open with others. We pray that God will use this openness to make you the sort of person that others can easily trust!

Yes I am willing to dig as deep as necessary to be free of the lies that i have believed during my life. Through my Christian walk i have served in Prison and recovery ministries. These miniseries require you to be generous (open hearted and open handed) as well as honest and transparent, in order to gain the trust of those you are walking beside. In the inner healing process I have discovered many area in my own life that needed attention. Anger, fear and sadness to name a few. Overcoming is a process, and sometimes a slow one (Phil.1:6) One thing is for sure, I have no problem sharing with God because He already knows everything about me. He loves me and forgives me no matter what. However its been a little harder with people as they tend to judge and condemn. Learning to discern who to share with has been an ongoing process.
