“To love at all is to be vulnerable.” — C.S. Lewis
Lewis’s insight resonates deeply for young adults navigating relationships and faith. Whether it’s opening up to a friend, pursuing a romance, or trusting God with your future, love requires vulnerability—a willingness to risk hurt for the sake of connection. In a world that often equates strength with invulnerability, choosing to love is a bold act of faith.
Vulnerability is scary because it exposes you to rejection or failure. You might hesitate to share your struggles, fearing judgment, or to trust God when His plans seem unclear. Yet, the cross shows that God Himself embraced vulnerability, becoming human and dying for love of you. His example invites you to risk openness, knowing that His love catches you when you fall.
As you build relationships and deepen your faith, embrace vulnerability as a path to intimacy with God and others. Share your fears in a trusted community, pray honestly about your doubts, and trust that God meets you in your weakness. This courage to be vulnerable reflects the heart of the Gospel, where love triumphs over fear. Never forget—you are loved and you are not alone.
